Osprey migration 2007


3 osprey chicks on the nest

2007 has proved to be a poor breeding season. Firstly, very poor weather in April in northern Africa and Spain caused delayed spring arrivals and more missing adults and changes of partners than usual, as well as empty nests.  It was a very difficult spring migration. Then after an excellent April in Scotland we experienced a very wet and often cold summer, which caused more losses of eggs and particularly chicks than in the average year. Failed breeders left early and now in August migration south has started.
