Ospreys have been spotted on our adopted nesting platform

osprey-childrens-park-12-10-14The news that ospreys have been spotted on our adopted nesting platform in the Children’s Park has been received with great excitement.   Ospreys were first seen at the site last week, gathering nesting materials and building their nest.  It’s a wonderful community place to see ospreys living amongst us and we hope they will be happy with this busy location – hold on tight to your fish on ‘Fish Fry’ night!

During World Osprey Week earlier this year in March, our Year 2 children went to see the platform being erected.  It was a joint venture between Fortis TCI and DEMA and was inspired by Provo Primary School alerting them to the World Osprey Week celebrations.

We look forward to watching the ospreys and hope that eggs and chicks will soon follow.
