The project is extremely fortunate to have a large and extremely loyal group of volunteers. Last summer, nearly 150 people dedicated more than 7500 hours to the project. Without the input of this dedicated group of people, the project could not be the great success that it now is.

Last weekend 70 volunteers gathered at the Birdwatching Centre at Egleton for the annual Osprey volunteers’ winter get-together; an opportunity to meet up with friends before the new ‘Osprey season’ gets underway in late March.

One of the most exciting ways of seeing Ospreys at Rutland Water is to join the team on one of our extremely popular Osprey cruises. In the past we have enjoyed some spectacular views fo Ospreys catching fish very close to the boat - it is an event not to be missed. Tickets for our 2010 evening cruises are now on sale. For more information, click here.

In addition to the seventeen evening cruises we will also be running two early morning cruises starting at 6am - more details to follow soon.
