Couldn't agree more LAM - 33 is one of the best :-)

I often wonder why Maya doesn't go fishing??
Latest from Rutland - 1H2(22) has possibly set off on migration

Last sighting of Blue 1H2(22) according to video: @ 08:21 8 August 2022 and
last post of her on this thread: @ 8:21 8 August 2022 flying off with a fish
Maya still on the nest and fish calling
No sign this morning of 1H3 and as yet, no deliveries from 33. 33 has ignored 1H1 and Maya's fish calls.
It is extremely hot and sunny so fishing could be difficult as the fish will go deep or it could be that he is now cutting back supplies encouraging them to follow 1H2 and be on their way?
