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.

IMAGICAT
THREE ospreys on nest !!!
He is gone now
I cropped this, as I don't think anything extra was on the bottom cam and it would be very small with both.
Anyone is welcome to get helpful snaps off it :)
Well captured scylla! I think the intruder has a ring.
I can't read it. Let's hope they can at Rutland.
I was just going to post "blue-ringed female", ALISON - thank you :) I'm just doing the second instalment ;)

I'm not sure who was left standing on the nest, so more follow-up needed of ons 'n offs.
