The ‘polyospreys,’ as the RSPB’s model birds of prey in Poole Harbour are now affectionately known, are still in the media today with a great video on the Guardian website showing them in all their splendour.
The two polystyrene birds are shown in their new homes – one perched on a large branch by the nest and one safely tucked away in the nest itself. As Mark Singleton at RSPB Arne says in the video, almost as soon as the birds were secured in position a herring gull threw a bit of a tantrum so that could be a good an early sign that the birds are life-like as hoped!
Polysoprey (as in the title), or polyosprey (as in the news body)?
