Lady of the Loch
Written by Helen Armitage - Published by Constable
Lady, as she has become know, is a remarkable 25-year-old bird (Ospreys live on average just 8 years), that has raised 48 chicks so far, at Scottish Wildlife Trust's Loch of the Lowes wildlife reserve. - This is her story.
Robert Potter, the Scottish Wildlife Trust's North East Reserve Manager, said: "This individual female bird is incredibly old, in fact she is the oldest known breeding osprey in the UK, and last year we watched as she fought for survival while plagued with an illness that experts predicted she was unlikely to recover from. Amazingly, she did defy the odds and recover and she left to migrate to Africa in August 2010."
