RUTLAND, MANTON BAY - AUGUST 2016

11.48  ENS

 Blue33 on the nest now.  I didn't see him arrive.

Thanks for the ID cofirmation, CLARE, I am chuffed to bits :-)

KAREN, I'm glad to see you and hope you are well (no need to answer that).  How did I manage to get the wrong end of the stick, I checked your messages :-/  Musta been overtired ;-)

Blue33(?) back on the nest.

He's having a preen.

Flown.

CATCHUP

Daycam - I haven't touched this snap, it's the original - the equivalent of LG's pink changeover ;-)

Only one magpie at a time this morning, and only 2 visits were captured:

Blue33 flew in from afar at about 0625hr (am fairly confident of time) with soft bedding, aww, and spent a few minutes nestorising:

1m28s:

I'll add to this thread if nice bits found :-)  Hoping to find B and M together as per MIKE's snap.

0700-0845hr - More sticks via Blue33 and he's joined on the nest by Maya:

Between 9 and 10, Blue33 had to deal with an intruder. 
The stream went a bit flaky so the intruder is only glimpsed, if indeed we see the offending bird.

Fish delivery - and takeaway! - 0930-1000hr ???  I think that Blue33 dashed off to chase an intruder.  Soon afterwards the weather got bad and the lens of Cam2 misted up, interestingly ;-)  I wonder if Maya got her fish elsewhere?  No resolution seen.

1m09s:

I'm going to have a go at Blue33's sticks ;-D

The cams are down (for me at least), don't know yet what time they went down.

Woops

Lovely updates Scylla, thank you.

Thank you, SHEILA :-*  I'm slightly grateful that the cams have gone down, in one way.
