LONDON’S OSPREYS

At the midpoint of the Osprey breeding season, London has 15 active nests reported. This year, London’s first Osprey chick was reported at the Labatt nest on June 7th. Our prospects for a healthy crop of young Ospreys in 2024 are very good.

The interim report is on the Osprey Resources and Reports page. Recent photos and videos are on the Osprey Gallery page.
