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.
Dylan is unringed, he's been breeding at this nest since 2016, when he ousted dear Dai Dot.

All ate their full and Seren got some too:
Dylan's feeding a chick - and himself... chick has moved away, it was already stuffed from breakfast.

Seren flew @ 05:06, not back yet... and as I typed that, she landed on the nest...with a FISH! Well I think it's Seren :-/
In the end only one chick is interested.
