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 has flown. 33 then takes off and returns with a stick, places it and then has a scrape :-)
Maya has just returned with some moss and 33 is on/off the nest bringing sticks in.

They are doing a great job and I'm looking forward to seeing all their work later.
Must go now .... SYL
33 is busy bringing in sticks this morning, hopefully Maya will get the sticky up branch sorted.
Yes, Maya is busy tidying up the nest

As I wrote, 33 landed on Maya's back but she pecked at him.
