MANTON BAY – JULY 2021

Perhaps just worth confirming that this fish transfer by 33 to 096 on a T Post took place in the absence of 095 and Maya from the nest and indeed the whole area. Seem to have modified behaviour now.

Morning LAM

Thanks for all the updates and pleased you had an enjoyable evening.

Great news that 096 continues to be fed by 33 on the perch. Must be quite difficult transferring the fish but it is just fantastic they are managing.

I wonder if 096 will manage to catch himself a fish? Now that would be something for you to see!! Fingers crossed he does :-)

096 in charge in the Bay while 33 continues to combat intruders terrific aerial display with three in the air above the nest and now escorted from the Bay. Still no sign of 095.

Good Morning Karen now that would be something if 096 caught a fish for himself! We have had a lovely display though by both males! A bird has returned and sat high in the tree so would suggest Maya as 095 does not appear to have tree landing skills yet! Lol as she is focusing on screeching for fish in the nest! Lol! Time will tell but it is very quiet not hearing her in the bay!

33 is also back in tree looking over 096!

Behaviour is still puzzling. 33 and 096 in left hand Poplars together. Maya is in the right hand Poplars on the far side from the nest - never seen her behave like this. Also 33 brought small stick to the nest then flew off with it had a dip and left it in the water.

095 turned up finally and dropped into nest.
Intruder about!

Thanks LAM - here is 095
