Under the careful care and protection of Maya and 33(11), all three chicks have thrived and later this month we will learn more about them when ringing takes place.
Karen W said:Don't think it will be too long before she takes the plunge
Eeeek!
IMAGICAT
chicks appear to be all settled down for the night now
And just to disturb their early night,
33 arrives with a FISH with Maya following him to the nest
one of the chicks grabs the fish and 33 flies off
Maya soon takes over and starts dishing out supper
Maya finishes feeding the chicks and flies off all eyes following her
But it could very well be that instead of looking up that one of them may be looking down from the cam post tomorrow - we'll see :-)
Must sign off now but just in case the site is on one of its many go slow mornings which is most likely considering tomorrow is first of the month, I'll close off this thread now and start off the new one for July
