	Osprey Cam Web Log 2006: Loch Garten Ospreys
		Ospreys are very special birds to the people of Britain because egg collecting and hunting had once driven the raptors to extinction there, but now they are coming back.
		Loch Garten was the first place in Britain where ospreys made their official comeback after it was believed they were extinct (there is currently some controversy about whether they were completely extinct or whether a couple osprey pairs had remained in isolated areas; but if so, they were in very small numbers).
		All of these are on the doorstep of Loch Garten as the Osprey Centre is situated in the middle of the Abernethy Forest, an enormous reserve covering 33,400 acres (13,500 hectares) which stretches from the tree-lined valley floor to the montane high plateaux of the Cairngorms.

	Lake District Osprey Project
		Ospreys returned to breeds at loch Garten in the Scottish Highlands in 1954, after many years of absence.
		The ospreys' return to the Lakes was the culmination of several years of hard work to encourage ospreys to stay.
		Ospreys are spectacular fish-eating birds of prey with a wingspan of nearly five feet.

	Trees for Life - Species Profile: Osprey
		Ospreys can be seen in most parts of the UK during their spring and autumn migrations, but the core breeding population is in the Scottish Highlands, in areas with Scots pine forests, rivers and freshwater lochs.
		In the UK the osprey was red-listed as a species of high conservation concern for many years, but has recently been downgraded to the amber list, of medium conservation concern, because of the expansion of the breeding population.
		Ospreys pair for life and nests are used year after year, with large ones being up to a metre in width and height.

	Forestry Commission - News - osprey groups a'flutter over birds' jubilee!
		Ospreys are now mainly found in northern and central Scotland, but have also found their way into the Scottish Borders and Dumfries and Galloway.
		Osprey viewing sites in Scotland include Forestry Commission Scotland’s sites at Aberfoyle in the Trossachs and Glentress Forest near Peebles, which is linked to the neighbouring Kailzie Gardens; the RSPB Loch Garten Osprey Centre, near Aviemore; and the Scottish Wildlife Trust’s Loch of Lowes wildlife reserve near Dunkeld.
		In 1958, the famous RSPB Operation Osprey began and despite an all-night guard the Loch Garten eyrie (nest) was robbed.

	Wildlife Britain News
		The UK population of the bird is restricted to remote lochs in north and west Scotland.
		Those lochs with a good supply of small brown trout and Arctic charr (the staple diet of the adult birds) and of minnows and sticklebacks (ideal for chicks) are most likely to support successfully nesting divers.
		Lochs usually lack fish either because of unsuitable water conditions or because predatory pike have been introduced and have removed many of the smaller fish that the divers rely on for food.

	Wildlife of Rochdale \| and its surrounding areas
		Loch Garten is surrounded by the Abernethy Forest and this area is particulary good for species such as Crested Tit, Capercallie, Crossbill (including Common, Scottish and Parrot) and Red Squirrel.
		From the Osprey Centre at Loch Garten there were a team of birders looking for them, but being so far away was not as good as I was hoping.
		EJ and Henry, the Osprey pair at Loch Garten, were both present and nice to see, but I decided to have a wonder on about 2 miles away to see some Black Grouse.

	Osprey Cam Web Log 2006: June 2006 Archives
		Helen Wycherley is one of the Voluntary Wardens at the Osprey Centre at Loch Garten in Scotland (ospreys were once extinct in Britain, but returned to breed at Loch Garten in the Scottish Highlands in 1954).
		Ospreys are more tolerant of humans than eagles are, but we still try to minimize the number of times we go up to the osprey nest.
		Osprey expert Alan Poole calls this wooly period their "reptilian stage," when "they are fl, scaly, and often crouch at danger, reminiscent of their reptilian ancestors." This second down covering will last another 10-15 days.

	Courier News Story
		THE RETURN of the osprey to Scotland has become one of the country’s most impressive conservation success stories, with the population growing from one pair in 1954 to over 160 pairs today.
		In 1954, Loch Garten played host to the first successful breeding in Scotland, and 50 years on the osprey clan is gathering to celebrate one of the country’s best conservation success stories.
		Ospreys were persecuted to the point of extinction in the Victorian era, and despite the concerted efforts of estate owners and volunteers to protect the species, they finally became extinct in Scotland in 1916.

		The hide in those days was a mere garden shed with a hole cut in the back as a 'viewing slit', armed with a huge military binocular telescope and an old man, full of enthusiasm, who signed me up into the Junior Bird Recorder's Club, predecessor of today's Wildlife Explorers.
		George Waterson was 'the man' who took the courageous step of making Project Osprey public, introcuding a policy, new to the RSPB, of intesting the public in birding and conservation by allowing them to view rare and beautiful birds close at hand.
		Forty years later, the RSPB began to open the Osprey Centre at dawn for the public to see lekking capercaillie, which had become, yet again, endangered.
