Morecambe Bay is known for it's stunning birdlife including the regular return to the area by a pair of breeding ospreys.
In winter they are in west Africa but each spring the pair independently fly thousands of miles to Foulshaw Moss Nature Reserve near Witherslack.
Hopes are high that 2023 will be the tenth year the pair will have raised osprey chicks on the Bay and volunteers at the Cumbria Wildlife Trust reckon three eggs have been laid. The first chicks are expected by the end of May meaning all eyes will be on the live 'osprey cam' for the next few, tense weeks.
But as Alasdair McKee, a Cumbria Wildlife Trust volunteer and the RSPB's local groups officer for the north of England, explains in this edition, there's much more to the raised bog at Foulshaw than the ospreys. As you'll hear, it's home to a wildlife soap opera!
