A project to encourage the fish-eating birds of prey to mate at the estate began eight years ago
Osprey chicks were hatched at Belvoir Castle for the first time in more than 200 years
At one point believed extinct in the UK, breeding projects have helped the fish-eating birds of prey recover.Beth Dunstan, who managed the eight-year breeding project at Belvoir, said it was "a real triumph for persistence, teamwork and collaboration". The male osprey was identified by his ring as 4K - who hatched at Rutland Water in 2013 - with the tag allowing people to track his migration from Guinea back to Belvoir each spring.
The Duchess of Rutland said she was "delighted" to see a bird born from another local conservation project return to Leicestershire to breed.Capability Brown
