Ospreys in the Lake District spotted at Bassenthwaite Lake near Armathwaite Hall Country House Hotel and Spa

Posted on 19 April 2013 by Carolyn Graves

 

The first pair of Ospreys have been sighted in the Lake District flying over Bassenthwaite Lake close to Armathwaite Hall Country House Hotel and Spa in the English Lake District.

The Ospreys are the first arrivals of the year and will be closely monitored by the Lake District Osprey Project, who are now in their 13th season.  The Lake District Osprey Project, who actively encourage the birds to breed in the area are of course delighted to see the return of the world-famous Lakeland Ospreys.

Nathan Fox, of the Lake District Osprey Project, said: “We are really excited to have these two birds at the nest site. They have been busy bringing in nesting material and fishing, so hopefully they will use the site here to breed.  “It’s interesting they are different birds to previous years. The female is un-ringed and we believe she is a different bird, but the male, who is also un-ringed, is definitely a new visitor here as he has distinctive markings.

The first pair of Ospreys to nest at Bassenthwaite Lake in Cumbria was in 2001, where they raised a single chick, the first Ospreys to do so in Cumbria for 150 years. Over the past 13 years, the Ospreys have nested successfully at Bassenthwaite Lake raising a total of 24 chicks.

To have a chance to spot the Ospreys, you could either visit the official viewpoint at Dodd Wood, or the Whinlatter Visitor Centre, which has live nest cam images.  Alternatively, you can enjoy the view from the conservatory at Armathwaite Hall Country House Hotel and Spa with morning coffee, lunch or afternoon tea.  

For bookings call 017687 76551 or view online http://www.armathwaite-hall.com/dining/lake_district_dining.php
