Day 1 – Introduction to Ospreys

Today we’re giving an Introduction to Ospreys! Find out about their lifestyles, feeding and nesting behaviours, how to identify them and when to see them in the UK:

Day 2 – History of Ospreys in the UK

Learn about the History of Ospreys in the UK, including why they aren’t as widespread as they have been historically, and how their population made a comeback!

Please note that, although this video is aimed at children and so is dealt with in a gentle manner, it does discuss the killing of wildlife, including shooting.

Day 3 – Osprey Migration

Learn about the epic journeys that Ospreys make twice every year, as well as food chains and tracking methods. This is a really exciting topic to learn about at the moment as more Ospreys are currently entering the UK after their long migration from their wintering grounds.

Day 4 – Osprey Reintroductions
