    In 1996, a translocation project began, which involved 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. We now have a self-sustaining population, with over 250 chicks fledged and individuals even breeding in other parts of England and Wales.
