Over the past two years six ospreys have being born and have fledged successfully in the 62,000 hectare (155,000 acre) wilderness using a man-made nest, making Kielder Forest only the second location in England where the bird has recolonised naturally after becoming extinct in the country: here.

Three rare ospreys ringed in Kielder
Nature: Three rare ospreys have been ringed to help experts keep tabs on them.
The birds are the offspring of a pioneering pair which last year raised the first osprey family in north-east England for at least 200 years.
The 155,000-acre Kielder wilderness is only the second place in England that ospreys have naturally recolonised after being persecuted to extinction in the 19th century.
