Mike, here is the intro. Thanks. Karen
Last season Maya, the resident Manton Bay female, surprised us arriving back 12 March the earliest date ever recorded at a UK public nest. The resident male, Blue 33(11), her mate since 2015, arrived two days later on 14 March and the pair successfully raised two healthy chicks. More details about the Manton Bay nest, including a table of the breeding data, can be found here.
Here’s wishing Maya and Blue 33 a safe journey home and for another successful season.

A couple of visitors tidying up.
Just picking up on the conversations we were having on the 10th, about the 3 dots. Well I have now found them, I was using the computer at lunchtime and can see them quite clearly on the home page, beside latest posts and the time. So it is because the iPad can only show so much info, it is squeezed together. So glad I found those little dots, I can sleep well tonight!!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
They've been here all night... hardly moved !!!
One goose, the one on our left, just got up and flexed its muscles. No egg underneath :)
