How many Ospreys were in Manton Bay when you visited?

   We saw the three that remain, the two adults and one juvenile;    the second juvenile appears to have departed three days ago and not been seen since so hopefully safely following its sibling that left last week.    Very windy today but at least there was some sunshine and no rain apart from a couple of spots.     Sorry, but with not following the Ospreys thread  I 'm not familiar with their  Darvic codes so don't know which two youngsters left but I'm sure you all know who's who in Osprey world  lol     It was a thrill to see the three left and watch them all stretching their wings although only managed to photograph Maya in flight as she circled instead of heading off to the fish farm lol     

T8 still on the nest rocked by the wind

Good evening all. The season is almost at an end and sad to see T6 And T7 have migrated, fair winds to them both and hope to see them back in 2 years. Out into the big wide world after being pampered by B33 and Maya.

Hazy thank you for your fabulous photos of Maya and report :)

Yes, Hazy, thank you for your update and super pics of Maya. I hope you enjoyed your weekend at RW and the Birdfair, despite the elements!

The scene this morning. Has to be T8
