MANTON BAY - MAY 2022

Still no good view of Osplet in colour   

And, when cropped close, both eggs look as tho they're crumbling, lol:

I was rather hoping for no chicks at dusk and two at dawn. I have only known that to happen once. I do not suppose anyone knows where and when?

I've seen one almost on top of the other but can't remember where or when - typical!  Was it here?

Some glimpses of eggs and osplet but am clutching at straws:

Morning Scylla

I just popped in and snapped both on the nest with the one osplet.

Hi Tiger,

It happened here at Manton Bay and it was 2019 when Maya and 33(11) raised their first brood of four.  (Blue 54(19) and Blue 55(19) both hatched 11 May)

Well done SK2 and thanks for the link to the interesting article....love the illustrations......and what an amazing record for LotL

And congratulations to Maya and 33 Welcome little one I wonder what your future will hold?

It was in the Recycle Bin !!!  But the osplet didn't look up for us:

I'm going to take a break now.  Good morning, KAREN & PATILY :)))
