A FULL BROOD IS CONSIDERED TO BE 2 CHICKS OR GREATER, RAISED TO FLEDGING.

Is is widely accepted that only around 30%-40% of UK Ospreys survive to return as 2 year olds, So on occassion when an entire brood is reported as returned it is an unusual occurence and worthy of note.

AN EXCEPTIONAL PAIR IS CONSIDERED TO BE A PAIR THAT HAVE BEEN TOGETHER 9 YEARS PLUS OR HAVE RAISED MORE THAN 16 CHICKS TOGETHER.
