A new month and lots to look forward to as we eagerly await these precious eggs which Maya and Blue 33(11) have devotedly protected, hatch!
For anyone new and just starting to watch the Rutland Manton Bay Webcam, here is a brief summary of the 2016 season so far:
The resident female, Maya returned 21 March. Her mate Blue 33(11) returned 27 March. Maya has laid three eggs, #1 on 4 April, #2 on 7 April and #3 on 10 April. Maya and 33(11) are currently sharing incubating duties and we should see a hatch around the second week in May.
Happy viewing
Another view of the eggs right now

33 is trying to push Maya away :D
I am not getting much gardening done LOL
33 is back and looks as if he wants on the eggs or a look? Maya is sitting tight.
Perhaps 33 is a modern dad and wants to be present at the hatching :-D
"you are sitting on my wing!"
He is quite comical. Reminds me of Monty :D

Egg turning again.
Probably flown off in the huff :-D 33 is comical but he better not bring back a stick. From the past look, I think Maya would wallop him one LOL
