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
The two of us

Hi MIKE
When I first looked there was a large lump of fish in view. It seems to have gone now and it looks like 33 incubating. Wonder if Maya has gone off with it to eat elsewhere?
Morning Kate, Jane, Patily, Mike and All ... Thanks for the earlier updates and captures.
Wendy .. another beautiful video - thanks.
