The 2017 season is almost upon us and my first thoughts are of 03(97) / Mr Rutland as he was usually the first back on or around the 17th March and heralded the start of the season.

Sadly 03(97) is no longer with us but it is nice to think of him and smile knowing his legacy will live on as we now eagerly await the safe return of all the regulars and also new returnees.
A safe journey to all.
Thanks Karen for posting the tweet, look forward to hearing more about her journey. She gets on with it doesn't she.

She certainly does Mary.
I wonder if there are any others back at Rutland? There could well be and hopefully we'll hear more on that as well as 30's progress in their update tonight.
Hopefully they will mention any others back in 30's update Karen, if not it's back to the Trout Farm to see who has been photographed there :-). Only thing is it's a bit early for photographers to pay out the money and not many Ospreys back yet, so we may have to wait longer for any news.
Tiger, Many thanks for the link. If 30 takes the same number of days to return as last year (16), having left on the 11th this year she will be back next Monday, the 27th of March, I hope!
Kind regards, Ann

Didn't one or both of them visit the Manton Bay nest last year or the year before, while we were waiting for the residents? I've been hoping we'd get a repeat.

Still to be confirmed but could the male 1J be back too?
