Three Cute Osprey Chicks Born In Scottish Nature Reserve!


Beautiful Osprey

Three cute baby ospreys have recently been born.


The cute trio was born in a nature reserve in Scotland. The osprey chicks hatched at a nature reserve owned by the Scottish Wildlife Trust.


The nature reserve is called the Loch of the Lowes Nature Reserve, which is located in Perth and Kinross, in the highlands of Scotland.


The new arrival of these baby ospreys is great news, as ospreys are incredibly rare in the United Kingdom. Ospreys in the UK are so rare, that it is estimated that there are only 200 to 250 breeding pairs of ospreys in the UK today.


These beautiful birds are mostly found during the summer months in the UK.


Ospreys are migratory birds.

Ospreys are found during the summer in the UK which means that they are seasonal birds, that can only be seen during the summer - ospreys migrate out of the UK when the summer is over.


Ospreys are mostly found in the highlands of Scotland, in the UK. They are also found in parts of the south of Scotland and, in pockets of England and Wales.


Ospreys migrate out of the UK when the summer is over. They migrate to Africa.


Ospreys spend the Autumn and Winter in Africa.
