First osprey of 2025 lands in Rutland
Available for over a year
Ospreys returned to Rutland Water on Thursday after a winter in warmer climes. Rutland Osprey Project was celebrating after the first spring sighting of the birds of prey was made at its Manton Bay nest. British ospreys typically spend the colder months in West African countries such as Senegal and The Gambia before returning to the UK in spring. But webcam watchers were quick to notice that the visitor was not the nest's regular resident - osprey Maya - but another female. Tim Sexton from Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust spoke to Âé¶¹Éç Leicester's Emma Caldwell.
