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.

Edit: Seemed to be a small fish for it was polished off quickly but no doubt we'll see 33 bringing in another later.
