Thank You for all the fab captures of the two bobs, they are looking so strong already.
Lets hope there is good weather, or at least dry weather until they get a little bit stronger.
Everything crossed for this season. Would be absolutely wonderful if they have another 4 brood nest.

19:42 B33 was on the nest with Maya. I assume the chicks were fed, she swallowed, so I know she'd eaten, then walked away from the fish that he must have brought back
She moved a huge clump of nesting material
And then settled down

Good Morning All
Thank You for all the lovely captures of the two bobs, and the video of the feed Karen, I thought 33 was going to block the view for a bit, but thankfully he flew off, and what a beautiful sunrise, so stunning.
Maya was flat out having a wee snooze a few minutes ago.
This will be Maya's 10th Anniversary of being the Manton Bay female. I am sure someone will correct me if this wrong
With Green 5R(04) - They had 3 chicks - 29(F) 30(M) 31(M)
