Link to previous thread: Manton Bay – May 2019
The season so far: Maya arrived back 14 March and Blue 33(11) on 23 March. Maya laid 4 eggs 2, 5, 8 and 11 April hatching 11, 11, 13 and 17 May. Maya and 33 continue to work hard to raise their young and 33 is once more proving to be an excellent provider bringing in plenty of fish to feed his family.

33 is really feeding his family well today.
once more the chicks line up and get fed

19:20 and to finish the feed, 33 arrives and collects the fish to have his share. One happy family :-)
Here's an individual capture of each chick and its age just to keep a record of their progress.

Well this is the scene just now, Maya covering the chicks, 33 standing watch. Doesn't look like it's raining.
