Rutland has its first Osprey egg of the year.
Laid this evening at the Manton Bay nest of male 5R and his regular (unringed) partner.
Webcam off at the moment but there are recorded movies in the news section of the Rutland site http://

If you’re anything like the Rutland Ospreys team, the chances are you’ll be glued to the webcam. We’re now on day 37 of incubation, meaning the first egg could hatch at any time. This is always an incredibly exciting time of year and so we’re all keeping a very close eye on 5R and his mate, for clues. If all has gone to plan then the chicks will now be calling from inside the eggs and using their egg tooth to tap on the egg shell. Our high-definition camera means we’ll be able to zoom in on the eggs and, fingers crossed, see the whole process in amazing detail. Keep watching the webcam. We all will be!
