Flying success of 'ground-breaking' Rutland Osprey project

Available for over a year

In 1847 Ospreys became extinct in England. In 1996 an ambitious translocation project began, moving Osprey chicks from nests in Scotland and releasing them at Rutland Water. The aim was to create a self-sustaining breeding population and the scheme is going from strength to strength. Tim Sexton, is from the Leicestershire & Rutland Wildlife Trust.
