The 2025 Osprey season has officially started with the first birds back at Rutland water today! Hopefully not long until our cameras go live. Not only could we see the return of our nesting pair, but any of the young reared on the nest back in 2023 (ringed 5H3, 5H4 and 5H5), as well as prospecting male 374. Watch this space…!

The Siberian Chiffchaff was seen at Lytchett Bay View again this morning. The Long-tailed Duck was reported in Bramble Bush Bay this morning along with 5 Red-breasted Merganser. In Holes Bay, 700 Black-tailed Godwit and 50+ Pintail were reported on the high tide.
