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.

Just typing to see if it will affect /help,what Karen aiming to do, and if we will be able to follow without the toing an froing.
EDIT I will delete if anyone does not want here.
09:51 I see they have moved the cam out a little and we are now getting a full view of the nest.
10:13 Thanks Kate, appreciated.
Immediately I can see that we also need to be able to change the order ie ascending , descending. (edit: order changes when selecting newest instead of oldest under OP)
10:16 Our little pied wagtail is back
11:02 And now there are two! I don't know if they are a male and female
I believe they are, Karen, as I was able to see the female's shaded back and male's "stark" back on one occasion over the time they've been visiting.
