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:

They've been up 'n down since before 04:00, flapping blurrily:
Seren has since flown:
Back again:
Such a lovely Osprey but she won't quite fit in:
I didn't see who the culprit was, but another bad stick has been brought to the nest and its branchlets have caused tangling probs.
Shan't be able to check back till later - but Dad's here now, hope he can sort this stick... except he's flown

It was Seren - this is just until she abdicates her responsibilities:
Just so you know, although the software won't allow it Scylla, I have ''liked'' your portrait of beautiful Senen many many times. Thank you
11:44 - Dylan comes good yet again:
Oh no, not again!
Instant snaps - she's fuming!
It keeps buffering...

"Chick was nasty to Mummy & Daddy" - but not very
In the evening Dylan brought a skinny tailend to the high perch and ate - but left some of it when he flew off. A few minutes later, nightcam switched on and then the cam went into a buffer which lasted all night because I wasn't attending to it, having succumbed to the heat!
