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.

I'm doing a vid of Blue33's activities, that's one that's gone wrong, then I glance over and watch him flying out to "sea" and fishing... a stick! off the surface ;-D

And another huge one! Making up for lost time.

I should have remembered... it was one he'd knocked over the side minutes before ;-D
He means business this morning, how wonderful to see
No big sticks in here, they followed:
Well Blue 33 is doing a grand job but this one came in and went straight off the nest.
