MANTON BAY - MAY 2021

Captured this around the same time, Karen...dear thing!

So pleased the empty shell was knocked away by Maya as she settled to incubate

I was surprised not to see Mary G Kerr posting on here. The reason has just been published on the Friends of Loch Arkaig Facebook page. It seems that unfortunately Mary hasn’t been well &, amongst other things, is slowly recovering from shingles.
I am sure we all wish her a speedy recovery.

We certainly do Mike, have read that shingles can be a side effect of covid jab, a friend of a friend developed it following second jab!aq

Oh absolutely, Mike! Thank you for sharing the news.

Please get well soon, Mary 

Thanks Mike. Yes I have thought a few times in recent days that we've not heard from her in a while. Keep cosy Mary

Poor Mary! Best wishes for a quick recovery.

Thanks, Mike. Sorry to hear Mary is not feeling well. Hope she has managed to get a prescription for the appropriate anti-viral med in the early days. Shingles is no fun and any stress can help to bring it on. I had it many years ago and as an added unfortunate concurrence, Mr GB caught the chicken pox from my shingles and his chicken pox appeared on Valentines Day--not my best pressie over the years! That was a strange year--at least we can both laugh about it!

Thanks Mike for passing on news of Mary. Wishing her a speedy recover.

Nightcam on and see the bobble wriggling and looking strong.

Thank you Mike, I do hope Mary makes a speedy recovery. As someone who has had shingles I know just how horrid it can be.
