The purpose of this thread is for recording the season’s day to day activity at the Manton Bay nest thus freeing up the Rutland Osprey Project 2017 thread for general news on all the other birds, nests and projects.
For anyone new following Manton Bay, Maya and Blue 33(11) have been the resident pair for the last two years and to date have raised six chicks. More details about the nest and a table of the breeding data can be found here. Last season Maya returned on the 21 March and Blue 33(11) arrived a few days later on the 27 March.

I am sure I speak for us all in wishing Maya and Blue 33(11) a safe journey home and for another successful season at Manton Bay.

When I posted the second osprey landing on the nest, and wrote "Back again" this was 33!
It has just been my lucky day:-D
What an exciting morning!! Blooming marvellous!!!

Come on Maya, hubby is waiting on you :-)
TWO OSPREYS ON THE NEST JUST NOW
I think it is MAYA ????
I can't tell..
33 has taken off, other osprey who is looking a bit windswept I must say, stays
I am trying to see the head for the cross but certainly looks comfortable enough!
Ohhh is someone else back?

No, it is not Maya. Pretty sure this will be 5N(04), I can see the green ring.
And now she has flown. What excitement on the Bay this morning.
