We were really lucky this week as all of Year 2 were able to spend some time watching a pair of beautiful ospreys via a webcam on the internet. The female is called EJ and the male is Odin - they have a huge nest near a loch in Scotland which they have used for several years and raised chicks there. Here is the link to watch the webcam and a lovely but slightly fuzzy photo showing both birds:
Ospreys are also called fish eagles as they eat only fish which they catch by flying over the water and grabbing with their huge talons. They are one of the rarest birds of prey in the country so the chance to watch them was a real treat - fingers crossed we see some chicks soon!
