Here's another post I think you will appreciate, especially the photo and associated history of Blue 640 (the Bairn).

Thank you, Nellie  ~~ You've just made an old man ever so happy    

The first of this year's Ospreys to arrive at Rutland was spotted today on the Manton Bay nest. A female, Blue 25 (10 ) arrived at 11:51 this morning, she stayed a while before departing probably heading to her own nest at another location by Rutland Water.

How can this be true?

We are shivering still and Sand Martins and Ospreys are back already.

Doesn't seem possible, only feels like a couple of months since the last one passed by our local reservoir heading south. How fast time is speeding by.

One has been spotted at 07:01 this morning flying across the Hertfordshire skies. They are on the move. We need to keep our eyes peeled.  

Yes, say the report this lunchtime. The nests with cameras should soon be showing the return of the previous occupiers, all being well.

A further update on the Manton Bay nest.

At 12:58 today Blue 33, the resident male Osprey arrived back at his nest for the start of his season there. He is 5 days earlier than last year and now waiting for his partner, Maya, to return.

This morning one was clocked at 07:43 near Loch Lowes reserve Perthshire.

On our way to a local DIY store yesterday I looked up and was surprised to see quite low 3 Osprey's flying over a large field made mine day, perhaps they are on their way to UK or the Brenne have see single birds flying over us at home but never 3 together.
