Werner Forman Archive Discovers New, Unpublished Images Renowned photographer Werner Forman (who died in 2010) spent his life travelling to sites of ancient civilisations and cultures, and photographing them.

Sat Nav Ospreys Tracked From Scotland - Destination Africa

Ospreys are rare in Britain. The bird was once widespread throughout the UK, but declined through persecution and by 1916 was extinct as a British nesting bird.

This fish-eating bird of prey is one of the UK's most fascinating sights and a number of pairs have been successfully breeding. Ospreys migrate to Africa for the winter, returning in the spring, and this hazardous journey can now be analysed as some birds have been fitted with satellite tracking by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB).
