Morning Karen, 33 just landed as I opened the webcam. That looks a whopper, so should keep them going a while.
Yes Mary, 33 is bringing in good sized fish which is needed for this growing family! The ospreys and other wildlife are still enjoying the waters to themselves as there is still no angling permitted on Rutland Waters.
Maya steps back
then continues feeding without changing position so not a good view
Birdies LG DU update.
07:13 Feed Over - Maya now cleans up as the chicks snuggle down
Maya takes a break
The perfect scene: Four full chicks sleeping off breakfast with plenty fish left for laters
