This year marks 30 years of the Rutland Osprey Project. It began by moving Osprey chicks from nests in Scotland and releasing them at Rutland Water with the aim to create a self-sustaining breeding population of Ospreys in central England. Fast forward to today, and 300 young Ospreys have fledged from nests in the Rutland Water area since the first chick hatched in 2001. Visitors to Rutland Water told us what they make of it, and Tim Sexton - senior species and recording officer at Rutland Water - spoke to Â鶹Éç Leicester's Ady Dayman.
