A date with nature

The latest news from our Date With Nature projects around the UK. 

Lakeland's fish breathe easy for another year

.....and we've packed away our telescopes, as the Lake District ospreys that have kept us entertained over summer, have now left us.Juvenile osprey flying past thunderclouds. Photo by Graham Catley

The Lakes Osprey Project finished on 31 August. And, for the first time during the project, we had no ospreys to show anyone, which goes to show our project timings are spot on!

This year, the adult pair raised three chicks, although sadly, one was lost the day after its first flight. By now, the other two should be heading for African skies and we look forward to welcoming them back in a couple of years.

If you want to know more about what you missed this year, take a peek at the Lake District Osprey Project blog - you'll also find loads of ace photos from the project on there.

We look forward to seeing you, and the ospreys, in 2010 - though we're not too sure the fish will be so thrilled!
