Rutland Osprey lays first eggs of the season

Available for over a year

An Osprey nesting at Rutland Water has laid the first two eggs of the season. Maya laid her first egg last week, with a second appearing over the weekend on her nest on Manton Bay. The nature reserve is home to the Rutland Osprey Project, which aims to create a self-sustaining breeding population. More than 250 young Ospreys have fledged in the area since the first chick was hatched back in 2001. Tim Sexton from the Leicestershire & Rutland Wildlife Trust spoke to Âé¶¹Éç Leicester's Ady Dayman.
