Thank you Sandra.
33 on fallen tree can’t see if he has fish!
Great news on egg number 3 Sandra, thank you. Congratulations and well done Maya and Blue33
Looks to be very difficult fishing conditions! The wind strong and creating current on reservoir, the water is very murky and 33 keeps flying off for quite awhile but returns without a fish! Wonder if he'll have to go to fish farm! He's currently back on fallen tree behind nest! There is so much water about that we even rescued a bee from drowning in a puddle on the path!
Hope this weather will calm down a bit now!
Yes LAM, this weather is awful all over. ️If anyone can catch a fish in it, Blue33 will. Good capture of him on the fallen tree and well done on saving the bee.
Great news on ths egg, I wonder if this will be the last or will we have a 3rd?
Edit, that is meant to say 4th!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
We saw a 4ft Pike looking for a fish in shallow waters so 33 has competition and Karen we need your brother to catch the pike when he goes fishing next!
Thank you Glider the poor bee had such wet feet it was delighted to bee rescued! :-)
Catlady we've got 3 eggs now lol!
Doh, I meant go say 4th LAM!
Yes Catlady realise you did was just teasing you
Sandra said:Maya was in active labour at 11:03, with B33 by her side.
He was more active in the laying than she was
