Osprey ‘09’ flies back into Rutland

Published on Thursday 29 March 2012 14:00


RUTLAND’S record-breaking osprey has flown back into the county.

The bird, known to Osprey Project members as 09, has been tracked via satellite navigation throughout his migration to Africa over the winter and the team was eagerly awaiting his arrival as signals showed he was back in England on Tuesday.

He flew to Rutland Water yesterday afternoon at about 2pm after a two-week journey from Senegal when he reached speeds of 50mph, the fastest known speed of an osprey to date.

The birds can be seen from the Lyndon Visitor Centre.

A different story and pictures here oh he looks good

:egg5: Osprey couple finally reunited at Rutland Water :egg5:
Friday, April 06, 2012
A determined osprey which defied all odds to return from Africa to his Rutland mating grounds has finally been reunited with his wayward mate.

The osprey, known as 09, made a 22-hour, 320-mile non-stop flight after being blown off course over the Atlantic.


But when he arrived back last week, to the nest he shared with his mate, 5N, last year, he found it was empty because she was with another male, 5R, in a different nest. But 5R's mate returned on Sunday, and kicked 5N out of the nest, forcing her to return to 09.

Members of the Rutland Osprey Project, who monitor the Rutland Water nest sites, said they were relieved.

Project officer Tim Mackrill said: "It was been really interesting watching all this unfold. We are quite relieved and are hoping they will settle down now, ready for the females to lay eggs."

He said when 5R's mate returned to find 5N with her mate, she put up a fight.

"They had a bit of a run around the nest for 10 or 15 minutes, but I think that 5N knew she was going to have to go, and would not be able to put up much of a fight," Tim said.

The birds will now spend weeks preparing nests ready for the females to lay eggs in about three weeks, which will hatch about 35 to 40 days later.

A new arrival… - Rutland Ospreys :egg5:

There has been huge excitement today as the first 2010 fledged osprey arrived back in Rutland.

We were first alerted that there might be an intruding Osprey in the bay by the behaviour of both parents in the nest. A quick call down to Peter and Diane in Waderscrape hide confirmed our suspicions, and shortly after they were able to identify it by its ring number as it landed on the dead tree in Manton Bay. We quickly dug out the ringing records which show that it is a male bird who fledged from the Site B nest in 2010 – another of 03(97)’s offspring.

So welcome home 28(10)!

I stumbled across this very sad news and if I am reading it correctly, one of the Rutland adult males (09) did not survive migration. I need to do more reading to see if it was the Manton Bay resident male. . :sorrow:

Here is the report:

A little more on the death of 09


An osprey which defied all the odds to reach its Rutland mating grounds earlier this year has died during the return migration flight to Africa.

The male osprey, known as 09, had flown the equivalent of three times round the world in 14 years.

n March, the bird survived a 22-hour, 320-mile non-stop flight, after being blown off course during his 3,000-mile journey from west Africa to Rutland.

But the latest journey proved too treacherous and 09 was found dead on a mountainside on the edge of the Sahara desert last week.

Concerns were raised by the Rutland Osprey Project team two weeks ago after the signal from 09's satellite transmitter remained fixed in one spot in Morocco for several days.

Project team leader Tim Mackrill said: "We were receiving transmissions from a remote ridge on the northern edge of the desert in some of the most inhospitable terrain in Africa."

Mr Mackrill sent an e-mail appealing for help to contacts in the country and his plea was answered by Farid Lacroix, a former search and rescue helicopter pilot living in Agadir.

"He immediately got in touch and offered to drive the 250km to the spot where we had been receiving transmissions," Mr Mackrill said.

"The Sahara is not the sort of place you can take lightly, but Farid's experience meant he was well-qualified to deal with the worst the desert could throw at him.

"Unperturbed, he set off up the mountain with a 15kg rucksack containing three litres of water, some food, a survival blanket, a satellite phone in case of an emergency and his camera equipment."

Mr Lacroix's route up the mountain saw him climbing more than 1,000ft in searing desert temperatures.

The team back in Rutland was hoping Mr Lacroix would find that 09's transmitter had simply fallen off.

However, they did not get the good news they were hoping for.

Mr Mackrill said: "Sadly, Farid immediately found evidence that proved otherwise – a pile of feathers and bones and 09's two leg rings, along with the transmitter.

"His transmitter's activity meter suggests he was alive until the early hours of September 12.

"It seems likely he was taken by either an eagle owl, or perhaps a jackal, during the night.

"It is really sad news. It demonstrates that even an experienced osprey such as 09 is not immune to the dangers of the 3,000-mile flight to West Africa.

"We are incredibly grateful to Farid for going to such amazing lengths to find out what had happened."

09 was one of the original birds translocated from Scotland to begin the Rutland project's breeding programme.

This year's migration saw a record 20 adult and nine young ospreys leaving for Africa.

KITTEN, thank you. Losing juvies is always hard, but losing a breeding adult...the worst :thud :sosad2
