THE Lake District's newest rare birds have been ringed and given their first health check by wildlife experts.
Two chicks were born to a returning pair of ospreys which nested at Bassenthwaite Lake earlier this year.
Staff from the Lake District Osprey Watch Project, which is co-ordinating the re-introduction of the birds to the area, has carried out the first checks reports BBC Cumbria.
