The only breeding pair of ospreys on England’s south coast have laid their first egg of the year.
It is the third year the birds, which are part of a reintroduction scheme, have bred at Poole Harbour, Dorset.
Female osprey CJ7 was spotted laying the egg on a nest webcam at 15:40 GMT on Monday.
I wonder what happened in the middle ages. Loss of habitat, climate, or something else?
