Title: The Rutland Water Ospreys
Description: Bloomsbury 2013 160, col photos throughout. . HB. Fine in d/w.. Photographs and illustrations by John Wright. Anglian Water's project to reintroduce the Osprey to England has been an outstanding success, but is also a very personal project for the volunteers who have been involved in the Ospreys' journey from Scotland to Africa via Rutland. This book is a celebration of this project and a chance for Osprey fans everywhere to discover the many amazing stories behind the Rutland Osprey team's efforts over the last two decades to re-establish these magnificent birds in England. This ground-breaking project was the first of its kind in Europe. Other Osprey translocation projects in Italy and Spain have come about as a direct result of it, and breeding pairs are also now established in Wales as an indirect result of the work of the Rutland Osprey team..
