Well done to Lincolnshire Police and the multi agency backup team. Pro-active policing of raptor persecution hot spots is the way forward. 😀

This morning, we ringed our four youngsters under licence. Biometric data was taken, and from this, we believe that we definitely have one female and probably three males. Ringed 3JB, 3LB, 3NB, and 3SB- all appeared lively and healthy.

*Thump* Always the best spring sound when the first Osprey of the year returns to Manton Bay! Now I've gotten over the excitement and pure pleasure of watching her on the nest. The beautiful 25(10) is back 🥰
