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.

EJ's Memorial Balgavies Loch Ospreys 2023
Is this a Mary Moon (as opposed to a Mary Mushroom)?
A 10-second on-off:
That was another very short visit - I had to make sure there was no ring this time ;)
Not just a pop-on-off this time :)
I'm editing this in rather than doing the "dot performance".
Kickin' up dirt again:
This EG is still casually picking over the nest:
Both still there, left one sitting down in Maya's nestcup :o
