In each one, in the hope that they will entice real ospreys to stay. The two sites, Arne Nature Resorve and Poole Harbour, are visited each year by the ospreys returning fom ther winter migration south of the Sahara. Unfortunatly, the birds just stop atthe sites on their ay to Scotland, and seldom breed there. (Ospreys became extinct the United Kingdom inthe early twentieth century, but were re-introduced in ‘tho 1950s to Scotiand, ‘Ame Visitor Manager, Gary Selby, said, This isan exciting pace of research, one that has succeeded In other places throughout Europe. Therefore, we are realy hopeulit wil work here and well end up with breeding ospreys of our own.” Gary, who is now busy occupied putting the plastic birds inthe thee artical nests at Ame, added, “The local flora and fauna is perfect for ospreys and there is plenty of fish at Poole Harbour, as woll as ‘other hunting areas forthe birds. This has led everyone involved in the project to have high expectations ‘about the future, even though we know we'll not get any breeding pars this year. Wo soe it as alongor ‘term project, where we wil not see much of a result for at least ve years.” sounds rather simple to petal neets in trees, but infact isnot as easy as it sounds, The osprey has @ wingspan of seven fet, so the nest needs to be a least sx feet wide, and they need to be atthe top of a tree, not in it. The RSPB, have even put drape of white palnt on the nests to make it look as ‘though they have bird droppings on them.
