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
Thankyou all for the updates and pics and the brilliant news of the second hatching! 2 in one day !
Wendy hope the baby bird is ok :) Karen hope you enjoy seeing the flying Scotsman! What a great day 2 chicks in one day and Loch Garten chick :)
Fantastic news of 2nd hatch. Maya has a habit of doing this.

Good news, as Karen and I thought earlier, she really was turning that poor egg round and round, as both our pics showed.
Lets hope Maya can have a little rest before the third.
P.S. I have only got Wide angle at the moment,
P.P.S Just come back on , so can see both cams.
One exhausted Mum, Bless her.

I had to upload the whole 30 mins again due to lack of editing facilities but I think it covers hatch & feed ... skip to 6 mins in

Good Morning Everyone
Thanks for all the posts, pics and videos from yesterday, what a day, two hatches! Great Stuff....
Maya is brooding but doing a bit of preening at the same time, the sun is well up so looks like nice weather here.
I hope you got to see The Flying Scotsman Karen :-)
