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.
A trip to the dentist and I miss the excitement but kept up with it via here, thanks Karen.

Yes, but I'm in tears because my browser misaligned during a refresh. Anyway, I've uploaded separate vids for the 2 cams. Blooming typical, isn't it?!
Also, I had a lot of mini-freezes at that time - please say it's not just me, cos that has awful implications :'(
IMAGICAT
I see 33 now has his own fish - obviously starting as he means to cary on with a huge one!

Was Maya too keen? ;-D
Woo Hoo! It's been brilliant checking all the updates from Minsmere today - I'm so pleased to see these two back for another season.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
What a beautiful evening ... just the perfect ending to a wonderful day.
