Eggs from the first wild ospreys to breed in England for more than 150 years are about to hatch.

Ten years ago, a project began to release dozens of young ospreys into the wild and now the first offspring is incubating eggs, which it is hoped will hatch in early June.

This will be a happy ending for the father, one of the first birds to be released, who has spent a decade looking for a mate.
