I have not seen any zooming in on the eggs - hopefully they will do so. Must go for a bit - BFN
19:51 - the blue "sea" made this compulsory - Blue33 and Maya were on alert but it came to nothing:
Maya refuses to have a flyabout, Blue33 refuses to come in and take over - so we could get a good look at the eggs Nought out of 10 for co-operation!
IMAGICAT
If only there'd been a bit more movement I'd've done a movie!

Morning ALL - now day 37.
Thanks for the captures/vid Scylla and great to see 33 has already delivered breakfish - thanks Patily :-)
Maya is still off enjoying her fish and the fact that 33 is sitting I suppose tells us that there has been no hatching as yet
What a lovely surprise to return to - the cam has zoomed in
Hopefully we will get a view of the eggs soon
