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:

Image taken by John Williams of the view towards the Clywedog nest from the layby where the hide is positioned during the season. They are doing some clearance of bracken and bramble (which has not been done for 3 years!) and thinning out some of the trees which will improve the habitat and give an improved view of the nest.

Thank you, AG. I just picked up the email from JW and have come here (excited, triumphant) armed with an unmissable alert... and of course you beat me to it

5F has been pictured eating on her favourite post in the Gambia again today. Regular images on the FB group for the last few days. She's looking great.

Great stuff AG , thank you so very much for that news . And shortly, dear Seren will be returning to her nest not far north of Glaslyn. I am so pleased she finally found her place and mate. And March is really, just around the corner !
