Otter Estuary; A Home to Breeding Ospreys?

Join Otter Estuary Ranger, Rick Lockwood and guest speaker Seb Loram from the Devon Osprey Partnership for an inspiring evening exploring the wildlife and future conservation of our remarkable estuary.

Hear how thousands of birds depend on the estuary each year to rest and refuel during their incredible migratory journeys. Learn that with the support of landowners and local communities, ambitious efforts to bring back breeding Ospreys to Devon could see new territories established at suitable estuary sites, within the next five years.

A fascinating evening for birdwatchers, local nature enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the future of our natural world.
