Looking at the site at Rutland Water. Female having a turn of the eggs and now settling down again. Lovely and calm there as it is here in Northants.
Would be nice to do a diary for the MantonBay (Rutland) as update on other nests now takes ages to get to the end and update.
Do they have names for these two at MantonBay. Please note I have changed the name to Manton Bay (Rutland) nest updates as a suggestion from Sandy. Hope this meets with everyones approval.

Thanks Alan, I reckon that there's no better place to be than Manton Bay at the moment. I'm hoping to cram in a few more visits before they all depart - we might have another 10 - 14 days if we're lucky.
Just looked in again, super pics Alan. Afraid the webcam pics are not very good so don't post them now.
Just looked at the webcam again and picture is very, very, poor.
Thanks Alan. To be able to take those photographs, just has to make the day worthwhile.
Latest tweet from Rutland ospreys:
"Still five birds in Manton Bay this morning, had super views of 5R & 1 juv from the centre. "
30(10) caught a fish in Manton Bay this evening!!!!!!!!!!
Brilliant news Sandy. 30(10) has always been a favourite of mine since I saw him 15 mins after he fledged on 21/07. Just to remind us what he looks like:
Alan: The day I managed to see him in the dead tree on the 5th August I had a good 10-15 minutes watching him through one of the scopes in Waderscrape Hide. It was a fantastic view of a gorgeous young bird, and he's my favourite too! I'm absolutely thrilled that he caught his own dinner this evening.
Sandy thanks for the news about the youngster catching a fish. Well done. Alan thanks for the pic I will save it now as I didn't last time it was posted.
