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.

Not looked in for ages. Alan on the LG blog said they were due to fledge soon, which is great news. Will try and look in a bit more but have to go out now. Back later.

Thanks Alan lovely set of pictures as well. I had a smile though as I think there is a typo where it says the chick flopped away from the nest, wonder if it should read flapped.
Hi, looking at the nest, there was one youngster up and doesn't seem to be there now. Or was it mum and the third one is tucked behind the other two, can't tell for sure.
There certainly looks to be only 2 chicks there and there were 3 when I looked in a little earlier
Definitely only two youngsters on the nest at Manton Bay - it looks like Alan has timed his visit to perfection!
One of the chicks on the nest, at the back, was wingercising a few minutes ago and actually hovered momentarily above the nest.
