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.

The chicks have been ringed this morning - early on, just the one showed us a ring - 553.
It didn't take long for a parent to return:
IMAGICAT
Dylan arrived on the high perch with a tailend, Seren was feeding the chicks with her fine fish:
She left the fish in a chick's care for a while but is feeding them again now:
Cm2's been in a buffer for a long time. Cam1, Seren's still feeding a chick.
Seren just brought a reasonable stick:
Gosh, that's an untreated snap, how dull!
We might have had such a nice view of Seren:
John Willliams has made a video of the ringing on Friday - which has confirmed that with my head for heights I'm glad other folk make the trip in the cherrypicker.

I'm the same, AG, but steeled myself for the sake of the video
Thanks for the link.
One of the chicks just had the most vigorous flapping session I've seen so far, no take-off tho. I'm packing up now.

I haven't been thru the morning.
Unknown said:Camera 1 is getting significantly clearer, allowing a view of a live trout delivery from Dylan at 10.26 this morning.
Shame I was on Cam2.
By hook or by crook, fish arrival on both cams:
From earlier today:
I hope to run thru the footage later.
