MANTON BAY - APRIL 2020

Gosh That's an impressive catch

33 was just rearranging himself on the eggs as i looked in

About 6 minutes ago a changeover (I was reading back) and its just possible, if it wasn't wishful thinking, that I caught a glimpse of asecond egg as Maya made herself comfortable in the cup

Indeed, what a lovely fish. Many thanks Karen and Scylla for the pics and Mike and Patily for the posts

Rutland are reporting seeing a second egg, last night, on their facebook page. I must say it's a pretty tenuous sighting!

09.37 33 brought his usual long and sticky stick in the nest.  Maya immediately got up and left him to it!  The cam keeps buffering for me.

Sorry, I managed to save the pic in its tiny form and expanded from the corner left it very blurred, but you get the idea!

Edit:  a bit of lateral thinking....!  That's better

Hi Mike,

I have just finished looking at some videos I recorded last night but was too tired to review, post however I found one!!!

I am sure that at 8 secs into this video we can see Maya roll a second egg - bringing it forward and it just touches the first egg.    Don't blink !! 

BTW this video was recorded at 20:00.  

Just thinking perhaps this is Maya and 33's idea of some fun for us like an "Easter Egg Hunt" :-D

Yep !!!  Well caught!  

I'm not sure where to start with our UK ospreys today, maybe I'll give this a go...

33 arrives with a massive fish for Maya
