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.

That would be useful, thank you! ... I have set it on half-hourly refreshes now, so hope not to get too-long outages. It's been pretty good overnight :)

The fate of the Egyptian Goose's second egg - the Crow took its time!
Since this snap they've both gone:
Morning All - thanks for the vid Scylla showing another egg. I am surprised the crow didn't take it away but the EG quickly disposed off it.
Meantime they are back

So far we have seen two eggs. Hopefully no more but out of curiosity, does anyone know how many they can lay?
