Interesting post from Rutland yesterday about an intruder - 1H4, juvenile from a nearby nest paid a visit and stayed for a while!
Now, I recall a certain young male doing that back in 2011 - lets hope 1H4 does not have their eyes on this nest!
Beautiful sunrise this morning

05:42 all chicks on the nest nest waiting on 1H1 finishing and their turn of the fish
1H3 tucking in
1H2 tucking in

Was it 33 Karen? Wow, it is amazing to see newly fledged youngsters exploring their area and neighbours.

Yes GLIDER - 33 paid a visit to this nest as a juvenile back in 2011. He was a single chick raised at Site B (a nearby private nest) - Father was 03(97) aka Mr Rutland
Found this older post from Alan Petrie for you showing 33 on the nest along with Maya & Green 5R(10)'s offsprings
