The first osprey chick of the year has hatched at Rutland Water Nature Reserve. Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust previously confirmed an egg was laid by a bird called Maya on 1 April. The trust said the chick hatched "amid the spectacular aurora displays over the skies" over the weekend. It is hoped a second egg of her eggs will hatch soon and both chicks will fledge by the end of the summer. The reserve was the first place in England where ospreys bred in 150 years when Scottish chicks were introduced in 1996 and in 2001. George Smith from Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust told Ady Dayman what happened over the weekend.
