Rutland Osprey Team off to Africa next week
Thankyou all for all the updates! Good news that there have been 4 eggs! Lets hope that theres plenty of fishing so that they all hopefully stand a chance! I would have thought that 4 would be too many for a pair to raise but you can never say never with ospreys!

So Not 4? Wonder where the news of 4 came from?
It was posted on Facebook Patily. Someone genuinely thought there were four.
ChloeB & Tiger's Osprey Data
I didn't think Tiger would have posted that without reading it somewhere.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
It was on our FB group Clare. A capture was posted along with the news. Must have been nesting material but it did look like four eggs.

Also showed the value of giving cuddly toys to the chicks.
Yep, started a new fashion trend didn't they? :)
