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
Just watching and another wiggle, wobble and settle down :-)

Good stuff ... two happy ospreys :-)
I bet this year 33 would like to be on the eggs when they hatch. :-)
Swop over right now. Maya incubating.

Maya has returned and incubating once more.
33 back already, lol
I didn't see how he made it, but 33 is incubating again. :D
And 33 is back again :-D
This time, after a little poke with a stick 33 had, Maya rises and takes off leaving 33 to the eggs. 33 has a really good look before settling down :-D
33 is so funny!
I know NOC, I could watch him all day LOL but unfortunately I must get on with some work. BBL
