The Osprey is a species of bird of prey that is unlikely to ever be brought into the Sanctuary here in Mid-Suffolk: not only is it rare to these shores as a whole but because our regional terrain here is devoid of suitable hunting grounds and nesting environments, which are coastal or situated near any lake or river which is free from disturbance and where fishing is possible.

As a result we’ve never run a story on this fascinating bird, but a recent feature in The Daily Mail featuring some amazing photographs by Miguel Lasa, a 49-year-old award-winning photographer who works as a family doctor in north-east England, prompted us to contact him for permission to reproduce them for your benefit.
