Maya and 33(11) have taken turns incubating their precious eggs and we should see the first hatch towards the end of the first week in May.
Indeed, Karen, a long day yesterday, work and finished packing for our holiday today. I only quickly went through the posts, but I never really noticed this fellow and his size. Little wonder witn all the fish being served!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Morning ALL and have a lovely holiday Catlady
06:56 33 arrives with breakfish and feed gets underway
from the wide cam
and a close up
captures not too great with the glare from the sun but will post more later BFN
Today, the chick is 15 days old
Oh, he is not very bonny looking at this stage!
.
You said it, Catlady
IMAGICAT
13:28 33 returns with a fish
another satisfying feed for the chick who eventually zonks out
and a bit later, it raises it head and I'm thinking -
it will soon be by this horrible transformation "dino" stage and become a beautiful young osprey
I'm sure this chick is growing by the minute
Am sure you're right Karen ... one pampered baby dinosaur!
