The purpose of this thread is to record observations, activity and captures of Rutland’s Manton Bay nest throughout the season.
The nest at Manton Bay has been in use since 2007 and its history can be found here.
I am sure I speak for us all in wishing Maya and Blue 33(11) a safe journey home and for another successful season at Manton Bay.
Maya is back with her fish

I wish Rutland would confirm ...
I have seen 3 birds. I think there is another female around as there is a definite difference on the chest marking on the bird around just now from earlier.
Me too Karen, see my post above.

Thanks for that Mary ... i have been sitting here waiting but I knew it was him :-)
And Maya has just flown in followed by 33. Maya gone and 33 remains. Chest much lighter :-)
And confirmation from Rutland :-))))
Fantastic news.
So happy he is home safely Karen. I did so enjoy these pair last year, he is a wonderful character to follow on the webcam.
Such good news! So there is another female around too.
What a beautiful sight ....
