MANTON BAY – AUGUST 2021 to end of FEBRUARY 2022

  • Morning LAM. Thanks for confirming that 33 does indeed have a fish - I thought so lol by Maya's actions.   She is persistent wanting fed!!

    Laptop fine - thanks. And I have all my recent docs/photos backed up onto another drive now so all good.

    But this fish - Will 33 share it or not?

  • Thought would be nice to have a pic of them. Maya on nest 33 fallen tree.

  • Hi Karen
    Pleased all good with laptop - great news you got all backed up else that would have been terrible! For us as well as you!
    As typing Maya to perch but still calling!
    Yes will he give her the fish! Promise we won't get distracted and will let you know if it is off cam!
  • Thanks for the capture LAM - nice one for your collections too :-)

    Maya, didn't stay on the perch long returning to the nest and persistently calling!

    LAM - hope you saw the transfer :-)

  • Yay great, love to see this as it feels so nice from a human perspective to think of it as a show of affection for doing a good job and being such a good mum. He has now flown off to the middle of Lake and Maya on her perch eating happily away!
  • 33 now joined her on perch!

  • How lovely he has joined her - thanks LAM
  • We did Karen we are paying full attention this morning knowing they could be gone any moment now.... Well perhaps not literally as Maya would struggle to get launched with that fish she's got :-)
    33 preening and getting feathers in order!
    Aww they look very content together now.
  • Stretching arms as far as can... Is this any better?
