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.
Osprey just landed... and flew up to perch.
Edit, hope this D&D's in the pre-set size = 320px times proportionate depth:
IMAGICAT
Twice more Maya has been active. Kitchen break req'd, vid is processing but only "for the record", nothing eventful.
Editing in vid.
I left in the "waiting time" that shows how long she was gone from take-off (wobbly cam1) to return.
More activity, empty nest at the mo. I'm out of action for a while.
Adding in video:
