The first osprey chicks of the year have hatched at Rutland Water Nature Reserve.

A bird called Maya laid a clutch of four eggs in a nest at Manton Bay at the reserve.

The first egg hatched at about 20:55 BST on Friday, followed by a second at 04:30 on Sunday.

Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust said the first few days would be vital for the chicks as they start to eat and build their strength.

Tim Sexton from Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust spoke to 麻豆社 Leicester's Ady Dayman.
