About the #FoulshawMoss breeding pair of ospreys

The ospreys that favour Foulshaw Moss Nature Reserve, near Witherslack, as their breeding ground, migrate to their wintering grounds - most likely West Africa or Europe - in Autumn.

The male osprey, identified by his 'White YW' leg ring, hatched at Bassenthwaite in 2008. The female osprey, identified by her 'Blue 35' leg ring, hatched at Kielder in 2010.
