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. Read about their offspring here.
