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
Hello all! Bad Penny turned up again ;-)

That's cos dear Blue33 brought another fish, which seemed to inspire Maya while the leftover didn't :-/
However, we couldn't see Blue33 :'(
Does anyone know the rationale for losing the birds whilst "dead wood" occupies the lower third of the screen?
I'm imagine that they have a one-button zoom set up, and that the above is the only view that will allow the zoom to focus on the appropriate via said one-button press.
Has this discussion already been done to death and I'm coming in here wasting space?
IMAGICAT

I can see from the exclamation marks that any argument from me might ruin one of the most precious friendships of my whole life, dearest KATE :-*
I am celebrating finding some successful downloads on my hard drive, wow!
Maya bringing a small clump?
Blue33 bringing the latest fish:
Wow that was some defense of the nest.
Thanks Jane - fantastic captures
what is going on? I looked over and saw Maya ducking.
Another has just flown by on the right .. Maya is up and alert!
Maya has settled on the chicks but something is bothering her ..
33 has just landed and another osprey appeared on the left of the screen. 33 is off in pursuit.
(Sorry, I can't do screen grabs just now)
Still kicking off Karen
I hate when this happens Jane - hopefully 33 will see them off ..
Cam down however I must go for a bit. BBS
Second wave.
I didn't see any of that but Maya is currently off the chicks, nestorising whilst they lay in the sun. Still two good sized portions of fish available.
Birdies LG DU update.
