Continued from Rutland Osprey Project 2023
As we prepare for the new season, our opening post is dedicated to Chris Wood who sadly passed away 15 December 2023. Chris, a dedicated volunteer, played a crucial role in the Rutland Osprey Project dedicating countless hours and passion to the cause. Chris was also a fantastic photographer and his commitment to wildlife and the well-being of ospreys was unmatched leaving a lasting impact on the project and all who had the privilege of knowing him (from Rutland FB).

Wishing the Rutland Ospreys, as well as all the others, a safe journey home
Maya is now the most successful breeding female at Rutland - 37 chicks to date!
Thanks, Karen, especially for remembering Chris. (But please could you change Woods to Wood?)
Thank you Alison - now changed, apologies for error.
No problem, thank you.
Many thanks Karen for starting the new season thread and for the remembrance of Chris Wood, a very sad loss indeed!
We will all be hoping & praying that Maya & 33 return to pick up where they left off to increase that impressive chick count!
