Link to previous thread: Manton Bay – July 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. The four chicks were ringed on 21 June as follows: #1 Blue 054 (F), #2 Blue 055 (M), #3 Blue 056 (M) and #4 Blue 057 (F). Further details of their vital statistics can be found here. 055 aged 53 days fledged first on 3 July followed by 054 aged 54 days on 4 July then 056 aged 53 days on 5 July and finally 057 aged 55 days fledged on 11 July.
August has now arrived and the migration window opens. Maya and 33(11) have done a fantastic job raising these four beautiful young ospreys ensuring they have had the best start in life to undertake their first migration. So until such times they go their independent ways and head off south, enjoy!

Oh great - they are zooming the cam in a bit. Lovely seeing the bay but not really necessary now as the wide cam is working again and with a closer view, at least we can make out who's who.
055 waiting while 054? gets tucked into that lovely big fish
Thanks for your good wishes Hoping the visit can be rearranged
Currently there is a similar scene to KAREN's
