  • Love your Osprey work Mark. I am following all the nest here in the UK. Ospreys were wiped out 120 years ago and are slowly (down to reintroduction projects) making a return. Reasonable numbers in Scotland and the start of a revival in England and Wales. For example this year. We have seen the first chicks born on the South coast for 180 years. It’s a slow process but hopefully these magnificent birds can be restored in all the relevant areas in the UK.
