And as Karen mentioned it was stick day again..And with sticks come trapeze acts by Blue 33... like in this video, where he balances on top of the stick (and maya) until maya gets out from under it.. and the stick barely misses the eggs
33(11) settling down to incubate this morning. Won't be long now

Lovely capture - thanks Mary.
Morning ALL - it is now 36 days since Maya laid the first egg on Apr 4 and I'm sure Maya, 33(11) along with the rest of us are now beginning to feel a tad eggcited.
So anyone up for guessing when?
I'm sticking with 39 days and opting for Saturday 13 May around 13:30.
scene just now
09:31 33 lands with a monster of a fish!
Maya has a hold and ready to take off with it

I'm going with Friday 12 May 17:30
