MANTON BAY - APRIL 2019

33 just arrived with a large awkward stick je's having difficulty placing Maya calmly watching him
Great news about 3 eggs

Morning All

33 has been fiddling with a stick but now standing by Maya - looks cold and quite windy this morning.

KAREN observed: 08:45 when 33 was trying to get Maya up but she was not for moving

I thought that was really cute, he nudged 'n nudged but she wouldn't be budged ;)

33 flew off but has returned with a clod of something. I think he is trying to annoy Maya that she gets up and he gets on these eggs LOL

Interesting, as I mentioned yesterday, no mating now so I think ospreys can count to three :-)

Off he goes again.

33 flew off a while ago Hope he's gone fishing

33 has returned and once more nudging, annoying Maya to get up.   Eventually she does and 33 is quickly onto the eggs.    Maya flies off

They have changed over since I last looked - Maya now incubating and looking around. Hopefully 33 has been away for breakfast.

Off for the day - hopefully a nice peaceful day here SYAL

I see it has been very quiet here which is excellent news for peace and quiet is what they need most over the next few weeks while they incubate their eggs.   No doubt Maya and 33 have been sharing duties with 33, I expect, doing or wanting to do the lions share.

There has been a brief update from Eleanor who is doing a work experience placement, and hopefully enjoying, on the 10th which I don't think has been posted.

And ...   Blue S1(15), Maya and 33's first fledging, is back in the UK as updated in Ground control to 4K, S1 (Mike has posted this on ROP)   

I am only mentioning his return here as I wonder if he will pay mum and dad a visit???   

Well I never did, Maya has laid a 4th egg.

Maya goes Fourth…

Karen I need your expertise on links but I've done my best.

JANE - my friend has just shouted about your post so I have looked in and all I can say is

Oh my goodness !!  

Jane, your link is fine and thanks for it but if you want a posh one, here you are Maya Goes Fourth   LOL

But what a strange coincidence as only the other day I remarked about the possibility of four with her being in such good condition having laid her first egg so early.   

I am so sad to have missed it but I am not around as much just now for I have an eye infection and not watching the cams very much as I must rest.

Thanks again Jane for the good news :-)
