    My goodness, the numbers are really increasing now, presumably as their thoughts turn to heading south, and the influx of youngsters in the air.

    I came across two reports of note on the Stanford Ringing Group for 17 July 2024.

    30 July 2024:  Blue T3(16) hatched RW.  Stanford Reservoir Northamptonshire.  It (?he) was also seen on 8 June 2021 at/from Welford Road lay-by Hollowell, Northants 

    30th OSPREY 2 including T3, the first time this bird has been confirmed at the site

    and on 17 July 2024  Blue 3AY

    17th OSPREY 1 colour ringed bird, Blue 3AY seen on at least 3 occasions throughout the day

     I've got a 2021 osprey, 3AX, another RW hatch, but nothing on 3AY.  I guess they may be siblings?  Does anyone have any further info?

    They appear to regularly have reports of sightings of osprey at their reservoir.

    Thank you Alan.  There are so many 'unknown Rutland osprey flying around these days.  Proof that translocation works, and other projects are similarly successful both here and elsewhere in Europe.  Has there been any report of Yellow 30(05)f returning this year.  She is one iconic female who is often forgotten.
