Morning ALL and thanks for all the updates. LAM - what can I say, I am gobsmacked!! I am amazed at how you get around but so pleased you have made it and that 1H1 is still here with 33 and Maya. And what fantastic photos - you really are giving us an off cam view and feel of what is around which is so appreciated.
Unfortunately I am out most of the day but will catch up with you later.
Have a fantastic day

The intruder taking close look at nest but 33 still on perch with fish calling! Here is pic of the intruder above nest
