Yay, Welcome back Karen it’s lovely to see you. Your knowledge of this nest is incredible. As I have been watching Brenig still laying, I wondered when Manton Bay’s first chick would hatch and there you are, giving us the information before being asked! Thank you and as you say, a little each day and don’t over tire yourself.
Thank you Sandra and Glider.
14:50 A moment of togetherness
Karen said:Hello everyone and a massive thanks for keeping the thread going with all your wonderful updates and captures.
It's great to see you back, Karen, and I hope you stay fighting fit. I'm sorry not to have been among the stalwarts who nursed the thread while you were away - only a day-and-a-bit ago I realised you still weren't here so I restarted the wide cam downloading - but unfortunately am not even keeping up with the "many other things" that Sandra referred to, so...
Onwards and upwards!

Very pleased to hear that you feel well enough to pick up the reins on your very special nest Karen
