My new book, "A Life Of Ospreys", published by Whittles Publishing, Dunbeath, has just been launched at the Bird Fair at Rutland Water.

214 pages profusely illustrated in colour, with photographs, sketches, maps, histograms, diary entries, newscuttings and other items of interest concerning ospreys.

The twelve chapters range from famous places and famous ospreys, to their ecology and migration, their conservation, threats and history, the reintroduction to Rutland Water, the return to England and Wales, satellite studies, how to build osprey nests, worldwide travels to study ospreys and where and how to see them. There's an introduction to the osprey and the osprey watcher, and a varied miscellany.

It's a great read and brings the osprey story up to date.
