Same scene as Patily has reported - Maya continues to do her best to shelter the chicks
Good Afternoon All
A very gloomy picture and where's the Burley House gone? It's big enough not to vanish away :-)
Very cold and wet as expected and we have hot flasks and mountaineering gear on!! The best of the British summer!!
Anyway Maya on the nest 33 was sat in his fishing tree but no longer there and can't see him so he may have gone fishing! Although it's raining pretty hard so it'll not be easy even for that clever boy!
Aha just spotted him back sat in the fishing tree again guess he decided conditions not good :-( Hopefully it'll clear up and he'll try again!
Hope your Jubilee tea party had better weather Karen!
