That's really great news but soory to have a moan but why do you think we are only being told now 10 months later Has he been seen this year?

It is this year, Patily. Last August (as mentioned) refers to a sighting of his first return to the UK

Thanks SANDRA Silly me!I didn;t read back far enough

For Alan and others, a link to a public official source about the 3 nests in the Biesbosch, one of them being S2's nest. One of the things that the warden says is that it is a spontaneous nest, meaning the birds built it themselves (despite artificial nests available in the area). The female is a bird born in Germany.

Biesbosch warden's log that mentions the thirdnest and the origin of the birds

Dear member

I am pleased to let you know that Rutland Water Nature Reserve will re-open on Monday 22nd June at 9am, we look forward to welcoming you back! There will be procedures in place throughout the reserve to keep you safe and adhere with social distancing guidelines, so please be patient with our staff and volunteers and follow any signage.

Lyndon Visitor Centre will be closed on Mondays until further notice, during this time Waderscrape and TEAL hides will also be closed but the car park gate and the side gates will be open from Sunday evening until Tuesday morning.

Please visit our website for more information.

I would like to say a big thanks for your patience with us throughout the last few months. It has been a strange time for us all, but hopefully we are on our way back to some sort of 'normal'! I hope you enjoy the good weather we are predicted over the weekend and make some time for nature near you.



Wishing you all the best
Tim Graham
