The purpose of this thread is to record the day-to-day activity at the Manton Bay nest thus freeing up the Rutland Osprey Project 2018 thread for general news on all the other birds, nests and projects.
Details about the Manton Bay nest, including a table of the breeding data, can be found here.
Last year we were thrilled to see both Maya and Blue 33(11) return within hours of each other on the 22 March and I am sure I speak for us all in wishing them both a safe journey home and for another successful season at Manton Bay.
Maya has just arrived on the nest again
Looking quite wet,

Hello, beautiful:
How nice to be watching an osprey again!

Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
I must go now, busy day ahead but will catch up later. Happy viewing everyone
Morning all, thanks for the captures, the shot of her head shows her markings clearly Karen.
Flown.

Alison, in rich text formatting, I also use the preview function before posting. That way I can hopefully see all my typing errors before posting which I correct by going back to compose. Ian

Scylla, I think she did, judging by the camera wobble. Ian
I think she's just flown from the cam post as the picture is wobbling again.
Yup - here she is:
