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.

I think Maya looks tired for I've seen her nodding off a few times

Poor soul, she must be sick of this rain.
Maya feeding the chicks just now. What a shame, they are all soaking
Night cam on and Maya on the nest with the chicks sheltering them best she can

Maya doesn't look wet but she's still being a mumbrella......maybe it is drizzling

Wow! That's a surpise No posts since mine
All chicks awake Maya feeding one whilst 33 eats from another and the chick nearest to him wonders why its not getting any
Maya had been calling on 33 and he then appeared empty taloned. He then flew off, most likely away fishing for Maya, and the chicks, are now quiet.
Maya flies off and the chicks settle down. There doesn't look to be a lot of room on the nest now!
and then they all look up as Maya returns with a stick
That's a great capture, Karen!
