Blue 33 an osprey superstar

The news that Blue 33 has now has two chicks home (well nearly) from the first two eggs that he fertilised  puts him in the super osprey class. 

Now  33 has always been a bit special since  1st August   2011 when he decided to visit the Manton Bay nest in Four's a crowd In 2014 he evicted his older brother (Blue 28)  from the Manton Bay nest  and moved in with Maya

Nothing really prepared us for his extraordinary feat in his first year of breeding. An osprey can strive for a lifetime to have two returning chicks. Blue 33 has done it in just over 2 days the time between eggs #1  and  egg #2 in 2015

The legendary  3 (97)  took four years to sire a chick that returned, the wonderful  5R (04) 

Here is a resume  on Blue   33 also known as 33 (11)
