This morning, as expected, there has been a few change overs and about 5 minutes 33 landed, mantling.
33 took off most likely giving chase to whatever was around. 33 has now arrived back.

I know Mary!! I also am missing seeing 33 approach the nest with fish, seeing anything flying around and just basically their surroundings!
On checking the nest it would appear someone has been at the controls as despite no change of view, it is now out of focus!!
Blurry view as 33 returns to the nest. Both seem alert
so in sync this pair!
Mantling a little and screeching. There is an intruder around as just saw something flying by
Maya up too
Threat passes quickly. 33 remains on nest and Maya gets back on the eggs.
33 flies off as I type.
Off now - hopefully the focus issue is resolved soon!!
