Looking at the site at Rutland Water. Female having a turn of the eggs and now settling down again. Lovely and calm there as it is here in Northants.
Would be nice to do a diary for the MantonBay (Rutland) as update on other nests now takes ages to get to the end and update.
Do they have names for these two at MantonBay. Please note I have changed the name to Manton Bay (Rutland) nest updates as a suggestion from Sandy. Hope this meets with everyones approval.

This mornings picture of the Manton Bay bobbleheads being fed:
Its 3 chicks at Manton then, thats fantastic. All the eggs hatched?? Looks peaceful there as well as at LG and Lady is feeding at LOTL.
Are the chicks getting regular feeds or as inexperienced parents is it spasmodic. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
Nice domestic scene as "Bess" preens and shields the chicks from the sun. All peaceful as at LG. No cam at moment at LOTL
Elsewhere at RW there are definitely two chicks at Site N and at least two at Site B.
The female at Manton is getting the hang of motherhood, just watched all three chicks have a good feed:

This is such good news Sandy, the role of motherhood is soon instinctive isn't it. Waht a lovely view from the nest.

Nice scene in the evening light of the chicks escaping from the female's breast:
Peaceful scene here, "Bess" on the edge of the nest, the little ones enjoying the early morning sun. Alls right with the world.
