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
553 came back, Dylan returned the fish - here, she has it and 554 is in waiting (but he didn't stay long):
Tricky moment 8.38 yesterday evening. Dylan brought a perch to the nest where all 3 juveniles were present. 553 claimed the fish, Dylan left; the two other juvies then flew abruptly and a goshawk arrived and attacked 553. She dodged over the edge of the nest as it arrived and got away. The goshawk then landed on the nest briefly, then went off in direction where 554 and 555 had gone. Glad to say all 3 were on the nest this morning with no ill effects to be seen. .

I had completely given up on this cam, the buffering got so bad. Here's the video from both cams, thanks to Peter saving all the completed sessions for us:
553 looking good on the nest this morning with a fish. Wonder if the chicks are more nervous here now after yesterday’s goshawk attack?
554 does like to look into the camera lens!
Brenig Facebook posted earlier that blue 551(20) was visiting the Brenig nest. (15/08/22)
Hi Glider. You should check out the visit by a female Goshawk to the Clywedog nest at the beginning of the season. It was obviously a female and looked bigger than an Osprey to me ! Males are quite a bit smaller of course as hawk males usually are.
Darn it, I thought I had a capture of the huge long legged bird but cannot find it. Did anyone grab a capture of the Goshawk please? visiting Clywedog nest way before there were any eggs .
