Continued from Manton Bay May 2023
Details about the Manton Bay nest can be found on the season’s opening post.
The season so far: Blue 33(11) returned March 16 @ 12:58 and Maya on March 19 @ 06:54. Maya laid four eggs - Apr 4 @ 15:52, April 7 @ 09:04, April 10 @ 07:03 and April 13 @ 08:08. On May 12 @ 08:18 the first chick hatched followed by chick #2 @ 06:36 on May 14 and chick #3 was first seen @ 05:45 on May 17. Chick #4 hatched @ 18:53 on May 18 but unfortunately a live fish was delivered to the nest causing havoc and the little chick died the following morning. Chicks #1, #2 and #3 have thrived under the careful protection of Maya and Blue 33(11) who also has been a fantastic provider for his family.
Later this month the chicks will be ringed and we will learn more about them.

Technical issues! As you may have spotted unfortunately our internet is down at Lyndon Visitor Centre after the storms, which means the webcam is currently down. Our volunteers are still monitoring the nest, and we will update you as soon as we can. Thanks for bearing with us!
