October 2008. A record number of 18 osprey chicks have successfully been reared in the Scottish Borders this season, 11 more than in the previous year.

The 2008 osprey breeding season in the Borders drew to a close with the eight resident pairs raising the record brood of youngsters, all of which are now on their first journey south to Africa for the winter.
