WILDLIFE rangers are starting work on an undercover mission to attract more ospreys to new locations in the Lake District.
A number of potential new breeding sites for the birds have been identified at secret locations around the county and will undergo dramatic facelifts in the coming weeks to offer more ospreys a variety of attractive and secluded nest sites.
A team of wildlife rangers from Grizedale Forest has joined forces with the Lake District National Park Authority forestry team to construct a series of artificial osprey supernests' to appeal to the migrating birds as they fly back over the county from Africa this spring.
