Brief history: 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 ousted 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 paired up each year and to date have successfully raised 26 chicks.

Here’s wishing Maya and Blue 33(11) a safe journey home and for another successful season.
I agree too, KAREN and SHEILA. I cannot think how we're going to follow threads in this layout and am bitterly disappointed that the IT team haven't made any significant progress yet.

12.23 Me too Karen, Sheila and Scylla. I hit a reply then have no idea where it’ll pop up! I’ve had to delete a few and repost. I’ll probably not reply to so many now. Good idea about the time inclusion Sheila.
Can I andd another me too? So frustrating! This is an upgrade? I don’t think so. How many regular posters were consulted before action was taken? I suspect less than 1. As usual. Pffft.
Thanks Sheila, Scylla & Glider (edit: also EJFan, just noticed your post) - relieved to see I'm not the only one! We are going to have numerous dupes, scattered info - complete mayhem.
This is just another dim-witted attempt by the RSPB and is not fit for purpose.
One thing that perhaps would help is if there was a toggle button that we could hide the comments on a posts once read to ease navigation.
Do you think we should maybe open a new thread for ideas, testing and try between us to think how best to manage our threads??
Edit: Thinking more, bit late now to test :-(

I am taking the liberty of reposting your post in the Upcoming Changes thread in the hope we can attract Kylie's attention and get an update from her - and we won't use the Brenig or any other nest thread to spill out our frustrations on.
I do hope I'll be forgiven for making such an assertive move.
Well said Karen!
No forgiveness necessary. Wish I had the wit and experience to have suggested this.
By all means SCYLLA and I'm pleased you have done this. Like all my posts, captures - help yourself :-)
Edit: Delete a plan I thought may work, but come to conclusion now nothing will.

It sounds ingenious but it is clear as mud to me - but that's the way things are going thsse days, I just have to wing it and hope for the best. As long as this suits you, Karen, I'm sure the rest of us are fine with it and will benefit from it xxx
Thanks Scylla. I didn’t even know there was a thread titled Upcoming Changes. I’ve found it now thanks to you.
