About the event

In 2025, ospreys bred for the first time in over 250 years in Norfolk (Ranworth Broad), an event that has direct links back to a project started in 2014 in the Vale of Belvoir, Leicestershire.

Amateur naturalist and author Simon Curtin, a bird watcher for over 50 years, tells the story of his encounters with ospreys and the project he led to bring the bird back as a breeding species to the East Midlands and how this became significant to the Norfolk success.

The talk, illustrated with pictures and videos, gives a background on ospreys, and brings the audience right up to date with the successful Norfolk nest.
