Osprey at Rutland Water

Maya and 33/11 were back at Rutland Water with 4 eggs in the nest when we visited a couple of weeks ago. I believe all 4 eggs have now hatched successfully.  33/11 was seen eating a fish which he then took to the nest for Maya to eat.  Close encounter for Gull and Osprey but neither seemed too bothered.

Hobby at Rutland Water

My first ever sighting of a Hobby, there were three of them swooping for insects over Rutland Water, yes it is a dark image and not enough detail but the next photo could be better!
