Fish-eating birds of prey generally migrate to Africa for winter months
Hopes are high that ospreys may nest again in Ireland after a gap of some 200 years, thanks to a reintroduction programme undertaken by the National Parks and Wildlife Service.
A small number of ospreys continue to visit the island as part of their migratory pattern. The reintroduction programme, now in its second year, involves NPWS bringing fifty chicks to Ireland over a five-year period with the aim of establishing a viable breeding population here.
