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
Love seeing the three chicks all lined up for the feed, great video Scylla.

I was hoping I'd find the "huge roach" but no luck.
33 just flew off as I looked in Huge fish on the nest but Maya still brooding

Is this what you were after MC or the delivery?

Birdies LG DU update.
33 has returned and is eating on the nest.
Well he was, now he's flown with the fish!
Morning all, thanks for all the earlier updates, captures and vid.
Just saw 33 flying off with the fish.

Good to 33 catching these huge fish again - he must be very strong to pull these from the water!
