Morning ALL
Maya currently standing watch over her snoozing chicks
quick scroll back
Maya is still saying with the chicks overnight
05:42 Breakfish - 33 arrived with a headless fish
chicks fed
06:52 another feed for the chicks
Morning Sandra, Sadly no I cannot tell #1 and #2 apart so looking forward to them being ringed :-) But yes, a lovely stage seeing their feathers develop however I do laugh at times as they remind me of those Lopi Norwegian sweaters that were popular early 80s lol
10:06 Fish
33 stands by as Maya feeds the chicks
33 flies off - feed continues
