MANTON BAY - MAY 2020

Awww brilliant captures Karen and Scylla.    It is always so exciting to see newly hatched wee bobbleheads. 

I certainly do know the trials and tribulations you go through Scylla to produce videos, to record one nest is no mean feat, but to record several, to be honest I don't know how you do it.   I cannot do what you do, I can only record what I see on the screen when it happens, so to start trawling through many hours of video I take my hat off to you! (If I was wearing one, although I should now as my hair is a mess ) 

Totally agree MARY - I do not know how SCYLLA does it and I can only imagine what hard work it is! Like you I only record as I watch.

But SCYLLA, rest assure we all appreciate your efforts :-)

They're both very strong chicks, Karen!

Yes they are Sandra! Fantastic to see #2 with its head up and feeding as it really isn't that long since it hatched.

So two down and another two to go! Usually about 3 days until #3 hatches but we are unsure about when the eggs were laid so we just need to keep watching :-)

33 has arrived and flown with the fish

Expect he will have a little and will be back with it soon for Maya to give the bobs another top up
