The Manton Bay Ospreys should be hatching their first egg any time now. The new webcam has a zoom which they will use to get close up pictures of the hatching.

The wait continues…

They say a watched kettle never boils. Well we can vouch for that after today at Lyndon. All eyes have been on the Manton Bay camera as we wait for the first chick to hatch. And the emphasis there is definitely on the waiting. We’ve been willing the first chick to break out of its shell, but nothing so far. Maybe it will be later this evening, or perhaps tomorrow morning? All we can say is keep watching the webcam! Here’s a close-up view of the three eggs which we recorded a few minutes ago.

Since reading about this on here OH and myself have been watching and I see two chicks born now, as OH saw the second hatch this afternoon. Fascinating isn't it.

More osprey hatchlings today at Rutland Water.
The 3rd chick has hatched at the Manton Bay nest and the 1st chick has hatched at the site B nest.
Good videos of the new Manton Bay chick in the news section: http://www.ospreys.org.uk/osprey-blog/

Perhaps that should be kept quiet.
