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.

Birdies LG DU update.
No time on this one cos I cropped it for the YouTube thumbnail:
And I didn't crop the cams - there were some screen jiggles that sent me into a wild panic, so I've kept it all very simple !!!
I'm hoping it's Maya:

I was sooo lucky - I noticed one of the cams was frozen again (geese on one, not on the other) so I s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d over and clicked the refresher button, and only seconds later she flew in and landed.

I'm hoping I don't have to edit anything, lol ;-D But it's got to be her, surely :-*
