27-year-old Osprey Lays Rare Fourth Egg In Scotland
Workers at Scotland's Perthshire nature reserve are surprised after Lady, thought to be the country's oldest osprey, laid a fourth egg for the breeding season. The 27-year-old osprey - also known as a sea hawk or fish eagle - is a fish-eating bird of prey. For an osprey to lay a clutch of four eggs is rare, the BBC reports, and the raptor's age makes the occurrence all the more remarkable. Usually an osprey will lay two or three eggs, although Lady did lay four eggs in 2005.
