Ospreys have returned to one of their most important sites in England on the earliest ever recorded date after a "dismal" breeding season.

The first to arrive back from sub-Saharan Africa to Kielder Forest in Northumberland was spotted on the 21 March, three days ahead of the previous first arrivals to the area.

This has prompted hopes of a better breeding season in 2025 after 12 chicks failed to fledge last year.

I'm not British, but I know about Kielder Forest because of Geowizard's straight line mission YouTube videos.
