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've only just caught up with MB, and have to say thank you yet again to Scylla. I've never been aware of a night delivery before! Perhaps I've just not noticed the reports, but that amazing. Talk about their eye sight being good!!
