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
Sorry about my black 'n white timeline on top of the embedded one - but I simply can't read the yellow digits a lot of the time so I had to do something. Every now 'n then I close my own timeline to check carefully that there's no significant discrepancy.
Unknown said:553 (female) reported to have fledged at 5.57 this morning, aged 54 days.
I got wingercising at that time but the fledge @ 07:02
Presumably this was 554 on the low perch and 553 on the nest, then after the fledge 554 flew to high perch and 553 back to nest.
Continuous footage showing my non-fledge at the reported time:
No sooner had I finished with the above - than 555 fledged!
10:21 from the low perch - just a short flight but there was some more afterwards, not shown cos I'm too hot 'n tired, need to lie down in front of fans :(((
Made it to the high perch!
Lots of chipping's been going on...
17 July still

Light is changing fast:
Nobody home !!!
Who moved the long stick in the night? There doesn't seem to be much wind but we can't go by sound because that seems to be completely broke.
