The Ospreys are back !!

The four chicks at Rutland appeared to be doing well when I was there a month ago.

We saw the Osprey chicks in July.  Doing so well,in fact it was really hard to tell them from the adults.   First time we’d seen 6 Osprey in one place. 

It has been a good year for the Osprey chicks. Nearly all that hatched on the Kielder nests have now Fledged and some will soon be leaving their nests for good.

Are "your" adults still around, Nellie ??  They are normally the first to up sticks and head south for winter, but if it stays like this they just might hang on 'til November  

Sorry about delay in replying but poor Wi-Fi at times. 

There are some of the adults still around, but seem to be intruding on other nests. The blog from the web site is focusing on the young as they are still round the nests, but some have spent up to a day away at times.

Not to fret, NTH, it's not as if we have to Book in / out ~~  fun it is, work it ain't  

Looks as if all, or nearly all, of Keilder's Ospreys are on their way south. Hope they make it to their wintering sites and return next year.

+ 1 Nellie,  I'm just hoping that there will be occupants at all their regular sites, but especially at Loch Garten,  early next year  

It would appear that Channel 4 have built lodges on Llyn Brenig, where Ospreys are nesting and trying to raise a chick. The Ospreys have taken umbrage at their presence and moved to the other side of the lake away from the Lodges. these lodges have been built with the owners of the lake, Welsh Water, in order to film a reality show.
