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.

Thanks for the photo Sandy - I've worked out where it is now.
Late feed at Manton Bay:
Three full chicks and half a bream on the nest at Manton Bay:
Thanks Sandy. I noticed that too. It must have been a massive bream.
Just been watching for a while and the youngsters are a handful. #1 has snuck behind mum for a good peer over the nest edge. The other two had quite a fight over on the far side of the nest (one on the left still in submissive posture) and I thought that one of them was going over the side at one point:

not been on for a while but watching on the webcam from time to time . This is a fast growing family considering they are new parents.
