Calm and immediate action prevailed at Rutland Waters Manton Bay Osprey nest, home to Blue 33 and Maya. Earlier their chick had been flung into the rim of the nest by a large live fish delivery. The camera was turned off and everyone hoped that a rescue was under way.
Rutland Water was undertaking a rescue and Little Bob – or Only Bob – is now safely back under its Mum, Maya.
This is the link to the streaming cam at Rutland:
Gratitude to those watching who alerted for help. There is a heavy downpour approaching Rutland and help came in time! Thank you LRWT for your caring and quick action.
Thank you to Geemeff for the video and LRWT for their streaming cam.
I went to the UK as a Commonwealth Scholar in 1990 and received my PhD from the University of Leicester in 1993. After three decades of university teaching, I retired to devote my time to the study of raptor behaviour. I am particularly interested in Ospreys and am working on a long term project on third hatch survival and siblicide in these raptors. My blog is a result of a fascination with my local wildlife and the desire to encourage others to love and care for birds! I live on the Canadian Prairies and prior to the pandemic travelled a lot. I am questioning the use of aviation fuel at the moment as we all strive to help our planet. My early research was in politics and art including British public statues exported to Southeast Asia and Vietnam Resistors that contributed much to Canadian ceramics. Books and articles were published on those subjects over a period of 3 decades. Now I am working on books for children so they can learn about the challenges our raptors face.
