MANTON BAY - APRIL 2019

All behind like an osprey's bottie, as usual!

I thought that Maya laid #4 @ 08:45 but it's difficult to prove it :) 

I should have done a closer crop/slomo but have had a lot of interruptions here this evening.

I don't mind if I've got it wrong and it's too late if I've got it right, so what the heck ;-D

A lovely video Scylla. It certainly looked As tho you caught the moment. How lovely to see them sitting side by side. It gives me a lovely warm feeling!

When I first looked in they were together on the nest but then 33 flew off and has just come back with some more bedding  I think that's frost on Maya's back It was predicited over night

Maya repositioned herself and 33 flew off

Brrrrrrrr...

thank you Patily . A quiet domestic scene. Very nice

I always think 33 looks very protective of Maya

as I type 33 has flown.

A changeover just took place and it's not the first one tonight.

Another changeover, and I think I saw one before this and since the last one reported. If you know what I mean.

Ahhh! Look at this sweet couple

Morning All - lovely capture Patily, just love seeing them sitting together.

Just now Maya has a large clump of something and is busy tearing at it

33 is now up and Maya has place it over the eggs!!

good! She has moved it 

33 flies off and Maya has settled down to incubate

Hopefully 33 and Maya do not overdo the amount of clods \ hay they bring in this year

Good morning everyone, thanks for the updates, they really are a pair of characters.  I've just logged in and they are top and tail on the nest.....I will sit on the eggs.
