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.
LOL Scylla - love the non-osprey action. Such dangly feet LOL
You had trouble with the stream last year - hopefully it sorts itself out for you. I can't record, laptop too old to support VLC.
I've spent an hour here LOL and I now must go out for some shopping SYL
Edit: Before I go ... meant to say I have seen another couple of birds flying around the bay ... not sure if ospreys!

If you did record, KAREN, you would be up against the same problems. I said to someone the other day that I didn't think you did vids, but that nevertheless what a magnificent job you did with Rutland last season, with supersnaps and comments.

The slomo is compliments of YouTube, MARY - no talent of mine. It's under the Enhancements, in case anyone doesn't know. FF too.
I didn't know Scylla, LOL.... Will have to look next time I get a few minutes spare, wonder when that will be - end of September probably!
