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.

Good idea KAREN
Look at this big boy (or girl)

33 is on the nest just now.
In an earlier post he looked quite thin so a couple of captures and I think perhaps it may just have been the angle
Maya and 33 both looking a little windswept
Patily, 33 has just arrived on the nest just now!
Yes, he does look well :-)
33 arrives with a stick and plods through the chicks to place it!
Just noticed a feed going on just now!
Two are being fed while one waits and I was looking for the other one and see it behind her towards the edge of the nest - Eeek!!
Thankfully it soon moves round and makes it way up to join #4 who currently is being fed
