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.

Bad luck Sandy. At least you beat my 15 mins late for 30(10) fledging last wednesday. I notice 28 also fledged yesterday at Site B so lots of juves airborne now at Rutland Water.
I believe that's all eight of them now fledged, Alan. Hopefully in the coming days they'll become more adventurous and take to the wing more and more.
Latest tweet from Rutlandospreys:
"Juveniles flying well at Manton Bay and Site B - check out www.ospreys.org.uk for latest news and photos. "
There are some great photos of the young female at Manton Bay feeding one of her brothers.
Thanks Alan for the heads up. How wonderful to see the young female feeding her brother. Ospreys changing the rule books all the time.

Latest tweets from Rutlandospreys. Manton Bay has a visitor from Site N.
Latest tweets:"Four juveniles in Manton Bay- 11(10) paying a visit from Site N, sitting on the perch just above the nest.""11(10) sitting food-begging on the Manton Bay nest with 30(10). 5R making no effort to chase him off, but not feeding him either. "
Went to RW early this morning - fantastic action as 5R and all 3 juveniles were putting on great flying displays all round Manton Bay. Here is one of the young males executing a perfect landing on the nest:
Thanks Sandy , great pics. I havent managed to go this week but hope to go sometime in the next few days.
