The oldest male chick had been flying around Manton Bay for a few days, last night a splash was heard after he flew from the nest - this morning he was found deceased by the shoreline with a wound on his left side, just below his neck. It's the first incident of its kind in the Project's 24 year history of breeding in Rutland.
The Rutland Osprey Project is hoping to organise a postmortem on a chick from the Manton Bay nest which was found dead early this morning. The oldest male chick 3R6 took off from the nest at around half past nine last night – a splash was then heard – his Mum and his younger brother turned to look, and mum Maya went off to investigate. 3R6 was seen in the water a few minutes later, making his way towards the shore. He was found this morning deceased with a wound on his left side, just below his neck. Dr Tim Mackrill who found him said although it’s been rare in the project’s 24 year breeding history, it’s a risky time in the juveniles’ development:
