Brief history of Manton Bay:
The nest was first occupied by White 08(97) and Green 5N(04) in 2007 who raised 2 chicks. In 2008 they paired again but the nest failed and in 2009 it was unused. In 2010 a new pair, Green 5R(04) and an unringed female nicknamed Mrs 5R, took up residence and over the next four years raised 11 chicks. Green 5R(04) failed to return in 2014 and Mrs 5R paired with a new mate, Blue 28(10) and laid 3 eggs. Blue 33(11) arrived determined to claim this nest and evicted Blue 28(10). Blue 33(11) kicked out the eggs and spent the remainder of the season bonding with Mrs 5R who was then officially named “Maya”. Since 2015, Maya and Blue 33(11) have returned reuniting their partnership and to date have successfully raised 23 chicks.

Here’s wishing Maya and Blue 33(11) a safe journey home and for another successful season.
just , hoo ray..... it will be sorted as Glaslyn was but hopefully today and not a 24 hour wait with the other mate in the wings
Goody, now just two in the nest and one is Maya, oh.... hopefully 33 is off to fish for her
All's well with the world 33 has just returned with a nice big whole fish for Maya who has flown off with it, so 33 has has his bath too
33 gets back with the fish and lets maya take it!After a couple of divebombs by 25, think she left (for now)
