MANTON BAY - MAY 2020

Chicks restless as they wait along with Maya for 33 to arrive

#4 faced up its elder and got a pecking!!

#4 was up quickly after it and back in among it siblings - no harm done

33 arrives empty taloned !!!

Flapping fish on the nest.

It's a good size

Scylla - thanks for the heads up!   Look forward to seeing any vid/captures (if any :-) )

Cathy - yes, it is a good size !

I watched the feed but can't post any captures just now.

I didn't see #4 get any????     

Hopefully I am wrong  -  catch up tomorrow BFN

I only saw 1 bit Karen, not much at all, I hope 33 doesn't take it away. They haven't had much to-day.

I was just going to ask if #4 had any, I only watched close to the end of the feeding

I know Cathy, not the usual top ups we are used to seeing and it has been a while since they were last fed! This is so unlike 33 but we don't know what is going on around the bay.

Hopefully Maya gives them another feed and #4 gets something later. I did see it trying to reach up to #1 that had a piece of fish hanging from its mouth and that was it. I don't know if it got that??

But I must shut down this laptop now and go :-) BFN

21:23 I hope B33 brought the fish back so that it's there ready for an early feed in the morning
