From the Rutland Ospreys web site:
http://www.ospreys.org.uk/AWOP/Update.htmOne Osprey here - 23rd March
At 3:45 this afternoon as members of the team approached the nest where breeding has occurred since 2001, John Wright saw an Osprey dropping down and landing on the nest for about a minute before flying away towards the reservoir. Could it have been 03(97) back for another year? It was certainly a male. Tim Mackrill next picked up the bird as it was looking for fish along the north shore of the reservoir and it then flew off towards the dam. With cold strong easterly winds it was clearly having trouble finding fish near the surface
There were no further sightings this evening - though it was not for the want of trying! As darkness fell the bird had not returned to the nest site. So was it 03(97)?... or one of the other Rutland males?... or a migrant bird on its way further north?
Perhaps we shall know tomorrow.
