This seems so strange seeing no life about the nest!
I have been watching all afternoon while sewing (and reason not posting) and no sign of 1H1, Maya or Blue 33.
33(11) was last seen at 07:03 this morning after delivering a small fish to 1H1.
Captures on previous page but here is the short video of the fish delivery.
Maya was last seen at 10:59 after dropping off a headless fish to 1H1 who flew off with the fish at 11:00 and has not been seen since.
