Plan to lure Ospreys revealed

There could be some new visitors in Hertfordshire thanks to some nests being built on 30 foot poles.

Ospreys normally fly from Africa to Scotland to breed but it's hoped some will be encouraged to rear their young in Rickmansworth.

The birds will be easy enough to spot as they have a 6 foot wingspan.

BBC London's Yvonne Hall reports.
