Shouldn't really post on this thread about it though. 

I just posted a huge pic-posting screed on LotL, MARY, cos I know PATILY hasn't got time for searching out dedicated threads.  I seem to be experimenting all the time, trying to make sense of it :-/

Someone circling  .   just caught it left hand corner

My bottom screen was saying Ouch! and only refreshed back up @ 11:22.  Intruder not seen at all on top cam, of course.

It was only a brief glimpse of it Scylla. The bottom cam has behaved pretty good this morning but sods law that went Ouch when needed :-)

Good luck trying to make sense of posting pics for I have yet to see one I have posted the same size :-)

She is off again to the left ... more hay???

Rutland have added a post to their Facebook page saying they have 8 ospreys back. Would someone do the link for me please, thank you.

This post on FB links to a video showing yesterday's dive bombing by the unknown intruder.   Sorry, I cant do the link to the video on FB, perhaps someone can?

And it also advises there are now 8 ospreys back in Rutland.

Jane just seen your post as I was posting too :-)   Great to see there are now 8 back.

I managed to post a capture of the post but not the link to the video - hoping someone else can..  

I wonder if these are residents of the area but are on nests which are not disclosed by Rutland.

Don't know Jane as they are quite tight lipped about it all.

We know of five for certain - Maya, Blue 25, 28 & S6 and Green 5N. So 3 others????

Rutland, a matter of policy, do not publish details of birds on nests other than Manton Bay or if a bird is seen there, IE: an intruder or if the information comes from another source such as Gwash. Even then they will not give any details as to its breeding etc.
