Big scare for us today as our one Manton Bay chick was displaced by a massive fish. We have now intervened and repositioned the chick in the centre of the nest:

Behind the scenes video with BBC Countryfile as they filmed in and around Rutland Water Nature Reserve. Great time filming with the crew and presenters. They showed real enthusiasm for our work and were inspirational. More info including the link to watch lrwt.org.uk

wonderful evening with the River Gwash Ospreys and the feisty T7 Rutland Ospreys Rutland Water Nature Reserve Tim Appleton MBE ! #BirdsSeenin2024

One of the most exciting ways to see Ospreys at Rutland Water is to take a guided trip aboard the Rutland Belle, set sail on our evening cruise and enjoy a different perspective on the reservoir.

Spaced out almost exactly 3 days apart,
1st Egg - 30th March
2nd Egg – 2nd April

Celebrating the #returnoftheospreys , and what an exciting few weeks we've had!

We've managed to get our hands on some APR-1 Bird Behaviour Recognition Software which allows us to understand Maya and 33 have been thinking these last few weeks! youtube.com/shorts/HDCPB0x…

Egg-citing News! (and we're not yolking...)

Bit of a scramble - just before 2pm today, Maya laid her first egg!

We suggest you crack on and watch the webcams or, even better, lay everything else aside and hatch a plan to come and see her in person at Lyndon!

Lovely piece on BBC East Midlands yesterday on the Rutland Water Ospreys.
You may still be able to catch up on BBC iPlayer, or even better, come get a front row view at Lyndon visitor centre, open all Easter Bank Holiday, and there may even be eggs on the nest 🤞
