MANTON BAY - JULY 2022

You can see the unusual site of the beach behind the nest as the water is so low! 

Hi LAM Happy CampingLOL! Couldn't see who he noisy one was and now they have flown

Hi LAM - camping and no facilities - I feel for you but somehow don't think you will be too much bothered as it is only for a couple of days and what a view you are having lol

Great to know the chick who I suspect is 1H1 who last flew off with her fish didn't drop the fish and is eating.

The noisy one - 1H3 has just flown. She has arrived at the nest wet a few times so I wonder if she will attempt to fish, especially with the water being low, or pester her sibling or 33 lol

And thanks for sharing all these views - fantastic :-)

Hi Patily :-)

Hard to believe that soon these chicks will be heading south  !!

Hi Patily nice to see you. Hope you are feeling better!
It's more like Carry on Camping!! Oh my goodness must be over 20 years since we last did this and we can hardly get up off the ground! :-) :-) :-)
Anyway so glad we did as all the family are displaying well for us!
Yes Karen all worth it and Maya has grabbed the fish from chick on fallen tree and she is eating there! All of them have gone noisy now as they fed up mum has the fish!
You're most welcome to all the views but bit concerning the water level so low! Hope we get some rain to get reservoir replenished ready for next year!

Maya took off with fish 3 birds in the sky!

Carry on camping  LOL

And yes LAM - we must get rain as so needed but hopefully it starts once you leave !!    

1H3 has returned and calling
