KX7 and KM18 were about to change incubation shifts, and weren’t happy to see 3H5. She stayed a few seconds before flying off to enjoy her lunch.

KM18 chased after her, whilst KX7 settled on the eggs and a fish!
It’s great news for Rutland Osprey Project that two of the three 2023 offspring have returned safely. Who knows, we may yet see 3H4!
