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:

Thank you, AG - I think you told us before but I was very preoccupied and didn't break off to check!

Just Dylan's early visit, but was Seren around? I'd love to know where this skydancy vocal was coming from!

One more brief visit from Dylan @ 08:40, no sign of Seren (later, GSW & Jay, not shown as not very good quality):

He's not gone yet! Landed 06:09 - still there now, surveying his territory:
Flown:
He's back! Preening:
A couple of big stretches and he left the perch at 09.30.
EDIT
And returned at 10.36.
Dylan dropped off a stick a couple of minutes ago:
Dylan's back again
EDIT - Up to high perch. (Just in case we need a pointer later.)
Dylan at lunchtime, then he paid a surprise visit in the early evening - to perch only, and that was his last appearance for the day.
