MANTON BAY – JUNE 2019

SCYLLA - thanks for clarifying where the fish came from. I had seen, from a distance, 33 arrive for I was in the garden, Then I saw the fish! 33 must of brought it in earlier when I was out for I did not see the delivery. But it was a good one and the chicks enjoyed it - that's the main thing :-)

Morning All -

All seems very quiet.  33 paying a visit just now and just stands with Maya watching over their sleeping chicks.

Good Morning KAREN
Maya brooding just the chicks heads except for one who has their head up and looking around Maya herself has her head down and is dozing

Morning Patily - such horrible weather just now, I just hope it improves quickly and we see some sunshine.

Good morning, PATILY and KAREN :)

Here was the first fish of the day - one of those beautiful ones, definitely headless:

Timeline is out of place because the browser misbehaved during an auto-refresh at some time over night :(

Morning SCYLLA and thanks for the info/captures - good to know breakfish has been delivered :)

Maya feeding two of the older chicks just now while #4 and its sibling wait their turn

Feed only lasted a couple of minutes from when I looked in.  Most likely just a left over fish piece. 

 Maya once more settles down doing her best to cover the chicks.

Terrible forecast!   

As well heavy rain there is also a strong wind and the temperature isn't really that high!    Poor Maya and I hope the chicks will be OK for they are soaking.

Just no let up here ... Maya in exactly the same position as posted at 07:53

Morning, we left at 5.15am and it has been nonstop rain all the way, very cold too. I hope Maya and the chicks will be OK. Come on 33 lend a wing or 2.
