There was still no sign of the Manton Bay Ospreys today, but we had a bit of excitement in the Centre when another Osprey landed on the nest! This time it was 25(10), another female who returned last week and is, like 5N(04), waiting for her mate to return.

Correction: It’s 28(10)!

By Kayleigh Brookes on March 29, 2015

Quote:
There has been some more excitement here at Lyndon today – another Osprey is back! It’s male Osprey 28(10)! He arrived in Manton Bay this afternoon and sat on the leaning perch - the one without the camera on it!

28 was first spotted by Barrie Galpin, and soon after was identified by John Wright. He is only a day later than last year, so he must have been just ahead of the bad weather that is holding up 30(05) and presumably many other Ospreys.

Eventually 28 came to the nest, and here are a couple of videos of him, on two different cameras!

Couldt be 5N(04) with silver Band at left leg.

5N is a breeding female who has been back in Rutland for about a week,
and is still waiting for her partner to return...

...and this osprey has no bands

Osprey Update 30th March - Posted on March 30, 2015 by charlotteranger

Quote:
All of the staff and volunteers are holding their breath and watching the skies waiting for the first glimpse of another osprey arriving at Loch of the Lowes. So far, there has been very little in the way of other osprey visitors, although the reported bad weather in Europe appears to be delaying many ospreys on their migration back to the UK. Whilst patiently waiting for a mate, our male has been working very hard on the nest over the weekend – adding large sticks to the edges and improving the nest cup lining with extra clumps of soft moss. Last year our veteran resident female “Lady” returned on the 31st March at 6.49am, so will tomorrow be the day? Only time will tell…

Let’s hear it for the boy - By Kayleigh Brookes on March 30, 2015

Quote:
There has been so much going on in Manton Bay today, it was unbelievable! We have had not one, not two, but three Ospreys in the Bay!

The excitement began at about 10:00… I was in the wonderful Waderscrape hide, opening up for the day, when a high-pitched call broke the silence of the empty Bay. It was 28(10) flying in, carrying a fish and being chased by gulls!

Image

Quote:
25 flying into the nest, followed by 28 who flies overhead

Image
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ra-iSilrlzQ

Quote:
At about 14:30, 25 was sitting on the nest, then 28 appeared above her and attempted to mate with her, as the video below shows. As you can see, it was not a successful attempt, but 25 seemed receptive.

Image

Image
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFtGo-1EkVM

Quote:
Eventually, at about 15:15, both females disappeared – presumably back to their own nest sites – and 28 was alone in the Bay once more.

25 and 5N are clearly getting impatient waiting for their respective mates, and are touring the area, looking around at other nest sites. Both birds have dropped in on Manton Bay before just recently (5N on Friday, 25 on Saturday), but did not stay for more than a minute at most. This time they stayed longer, probably because 28(10) was here, and the presence of a male would encourage them to stay.

What an exciting day! I can only hope tomorrow is just as exhilarating!

The WOW race hots up! - By Kayleigh Brookes on March 31, 2015
Quote:
As we wait expectantly for the next Ospreys to arrive at Rutland Water, it is extraordinary to think that, all over the globe, Ospreys are making similar journeys back to their breeding grounds. The latest update on the Ospreys we’re following as part of World Osprey Week shows how much the birds’ journeys can be affected by the weather.

As we have seen through 30(05)‘s data, her journey so far this year has been severely impaired by the weather, and her progress has been slow. The same is true of her latest day’s travelling. Yesterday she travelled only 129km (80 miles), and, as of yesterday evening, she is still in France, 119km (74 miles) from Calais.

Image

Quote:
She left her roost at 08:00 yesterday morning, flew over Louviers and across the River Seine. She stopped at 14:00 at a location near Senarpont, on the River Bresle, and it was there that she roosted last night. As you can see from the photo below, there are several lagoons in the area, which makes it a very sensible spot for 30 to stay.

Image

Quote:
The wind has been rather severe over France, with winds predicted to gust at 43mph later today. This is clearly why 30 is still travelling slowly and decided to stop yesterday afternoon. It is comforting to know that she is being sensible – roosting early, flying slowly and avoiding flying through the bad weather fronts. She will get home eventually!

Judging by her latest position, it looks as though 30 is taking a similar route to the one she took last spring. In the map below, you can see (furthest right green line) that 30 crossed the English Channel at almost its narrowest point, between Calais and Dover. It is interesting to see that she is heading the same way this season. The other two lines on the map show her autumn migrations in 2013 (green) and 2014 (purple).

Some are calling her "Lassie". I am saddened by the possible loss of "Lady", but it is not a done deal as yet. I hope if Lady returns, she is not injured in a battle with the "new girl". The new girl is on the nest tonight. Here is an article from the BBC:

A very sad day for me personally. I can't help myself! :girlsad3:

30's almost home! By Tim on April 2, 2015
Quote:
Over the past 24 hours we have been eagerly awaiting the latest batch of data from 30(05)'s satellite transmitter, knowing that she is likely to be close to home. Sure enough, we now know that she roosted in north-west Essex last night, just 15 miles south of Cambridge. Even more excitingly, John Wright has just seen her fly north over Eyebrook reservoir!

As we expected, the data shows that 30 spent all of Tuesday beside the lagoons, just south of Abbeville in northern France, where she had roosted on Monday evening.The extremely strong north-westerly winds would have made migrating impossible; and as an experienced navigator, 30 would have known it was best to stay put.
Image
Quote:
The weather improved yesterday and 30 left the lagoons soon after first light. She headed north and by 14:00 BST she had reached Calais. It took her just over an hour to make the short crossing to the Kent coast just to the east of Dover. The winds may have dropped compared to the previous day, but she still had a strong headwind to contend with; the data point at 15:00 showed that she was flying just 10 metres above the waves.

Having reached the English coast 30 continued on the same north-westerly course through Kent, crossing the Isle of Sheppey at 16:00 at an altitude of just 20 metres. Over the course of the next two hours she passed over Southend and then Chelmsford – continuing to fly at an altitude of less than 100 metres because of the headwind – before settling to roost in a wood close to Saffron Walden just after dark at 20:00. Her day's flight was 180 miles (288km).
Image
Quote:
It will be fascinating to see what 30 does when she returns to Rutland Water. Last year she paired temporarily with 06(09) but he eventually settled with another female, 00(09). That left 30 to incubate a clutch of eggs alone, and – as expected – she soon abandoned them. This means that it is hard to predict where 30 will end up this spring. If Maya fails to return to Manton Bay, then it may be that 30 will attempt to settle there. So make sure you keep a close eye on the webcam today!

As 30 nears home, two of the other World Osprey Week birds are only just setting-off on their spring migration. Finnish males Ilpo and Tero left their wintering sites in Guinea and Kenya earlier this week and you can check out their latest locations on our interactive WOW map. The map also shows the current location of Blue XD - who is currently flying through the Pyrenees.
