During the last decade the osprey has risen phoenix-like from the ashes
- once extinct in Britain now returned as a powerful symbol of hope. The opreys story is a moving tale of triumph over adversity. Their slow but sure resurgence has attracted huge public interest & support; that of one bird in particular Lady at 25 Britains oldest breeding osprey has tugged at the worlds heartstrings. For the past twenty years Lady has made the 3000-mile journey from Africa back to Scotland her nest & her mate. In March 2010 she produced an egg for a record-breaking 20th year; despite her weakened state throughout that summer & with the stalwart assistance of her youthful mate the chicks fledged successfully. But how many more times can Lady defy the odds; will the spring see her return as happily it will so many other ospreys?
