Great Story. Did anyone figure out what actually happened that Ollie could not fly off? The article mentioned his wing, but did not mention the status after he was examined.

Olly was exhausted and underweight, so the poor thing literally fell into water. Its wing feathers were water logged from constant splashing to regain flight, but it wasn't able to. At that point the lads knew Olly needed help or for sure the osprey would've drowned Animal shelter called rspb and Olly was fed live pike and mackeral to get its weight back to normal, dried off and kept warm and given thorough check up. before being release to continue its journey back home.
RSPB were no doubt grateful for the men taking quick action, as the rspb man, felt if they hadn't - Olly wouldn't have been able to survive much longer and drowned. Olly's probably very grateful - as I am too. A Happy ending and the men fishing will have a great fish tale to tell
