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.

logged into webcam and found both ospreys on the nest. "Bess" is now feeding the chicks with leftovers.
Latest on twitter: 2 year old bird is back again:

Thanks Vespa Crabro. Strangely it is not showing the 9th June entry on my AOL browser but it is there on IE. Anyway 3 chicks is excellent news.

Lovely pic Alan and these chicks are looking good too.
Just looking at the webcam and those chicks are very close to the right hand side of the nest, do hope it is built up OK so they don't fall out.
Lovely pics by the way.
