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!

FISH @ 20:42
Closing down when nightcam came on. Maya was on the nest and 33 approached the nest with a fish for her.
Maya takes the headless fish from 33, 33 having had his share
she takes off as 33 wipes his beak but drops the fish
Maya comes down and grabs the fish, 33 flies off and Maya follows with the fish to have her supper.
