Off now - SYL

Morning All
33 preparing Maya's breakfast on dead tree. Crow looking on

He's taken it to nest she grabbed it. Taken to perch to eat and crow mopping up on dead tree tit bits from 33

Thank you Karen glad you enjoyed yesterday's events and pics.
Will definitely keep you updated with anything here minimalistic as it is with no chicks in tow!

Car behind nest ?? Both birds still there

Just rang centre they said it was farmer looking after livestock but if birds take off because of it let her know

Vehicle gone! Birds undisturbed! Phew! Thank goodness

LAM - firstly, thanks for the reports but how alarming it must have been seeing that vehicle in the field behind the nest!! Thanks for phoning the VC and thankfully no harm done!

But knowing all is well I am smiling here thinking about the farmer checking his livestock!!

Skinny cows comes to mind thinking about all that hay Maya and 33 are nicking from their cattle feeders!!

Looking at the nest and how cosy it is, the farmer was most likely down refilling the feeders LOL

I do hope you have had a wonderful day :-)

19:07    33 arrived with a fish for Maya
