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:

Recorded from Peter's archive, but there's nothing available for Cam2, the 12-hour day-shift has been split into two, with 2-3 hours missing around the time of the intrusion.
(Just for the thread's record.)

Got it out of Peter's archive especially for you-hoo, PATILY
What a shame it was such a short look at Seren, and she didn't even pose for us.
Just for a few seconds - I think it left because an osprey flew in to dislodge it, but it never got close to the nest.
They're so BIG!
All 3 shouting loudly for fish Whoever was on the far end of the upper perch has now flown to the nest

I love 553's shouting face and couldn't resist trying to make a portrait - but she's too close to the edge to put a nice frame on:
A Jay has been on the nest a lot this moring, but got cut off by buffers and glitches - here's a little bit:
