The season so far: Maya arrived back 14 March and Blue 33(11) on 23 March. Maya laid 4 eggs 2, 5, 8 and 11 April hatching 11, 11, 13 and 17 May. The four chicks were ringed on 21 June as follows: #1 Blue 054 (F), #2 Blue 055 (M), #3 Blue 056 (M) and #4 Blue 057 (F). Further details of their vital statistics can be found here. 055 aged 53 days fledged first on 3 July followed by 054 aged 54 days on 4 July then 056 aged 53 days on 5 July and finally 057 aged 55 days fledged on 11 July.
August has now arrived and the migration window opens. Maya and 33(11) have done a fantastic job raising these four beautiful young ospreys ensuring they have had the best start in life to undertake their first migration. So until such times they go their independent ways and head off south, enjoy!

Nice scene here - Maya and 057
Maya has flown but 057 stays.
057 continues to call. She may well be hungry if she dropped the earlier fish (approx 13:00) Maya returned with and gave her.

First sighting today
Maya has arrived followed closely by one of the juvies
As I type, Maya has flown and a couple of minutes later, the juvie flies off
Edit: From Rutland's Update "And there was one", this juvie (which I could not ID because of glare) would appear to be the last sighting of 055.
