Information courtesy of John Williams:
5F Seren hatched at nest K, Rutland, from parents Red 08 (m) and Yellow 30 (f). Chris Wood, who volunteers at the Rutland osprey project, has been following her for at least 7 years to Tanji Marsh in the Gambia. She has been at this nest with Dylan since 2020, after suffering abandonment by bigamist Aran at Pont Croesor.
Seren returned on 26 March 2022.
Dylan is unringed, he's been breeding at this nest since 2016, when he ousted dear Dai Dot.

I didn't get a chance to recap, got overtaken by events here and haven't even finished LG yet!

The babe stayed curled up so I haven't got a portrait for y'all - but, heehee, I've been waiting for an excuse to use this frame after a long break:
Thanks Scylla for the video - I was soundly asleep while all this was happening. Great news. John has written a quick blog with all the stats about the egg.
Quote John "37 days, 19 hours and 46 minutes"... textbook
Dylan's first look:
Dylan is back with the fish again. No takers yet... so he's nibbling.
EDIT - Seren can't tolerate that, she's up.
... but back to the chick 'n eggs again!

Hmm, not so brief, and not much "feed" - but I have never seen an Osprey Mama make such an effort to place morsels directly into osplets open beak - she doesn't just offer it an inch or two away. However, osplet needed to be a wee bit steadier, it'll come good soon
Seren continued her efforts even when osplet was flat on its back! It deserves a video but I just can't tackle it now.
