Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A pair of ospreys hatched two eggs at their nest at Loch Garten in northern Scotland over the weekend. The pair - who last year raised three young - have a third due to hatch imminently, the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds said.
Ospreys have been nesting at Loch Garten for several years, flying in every year from West Africa in the summer to hatch their young. Volunteers and wardens have been protecting the nest in an old tree in a forest reserve round the clock for five weeks. A video camera relays pictures of the brood to a nearby centre which attracts thousands of visitors every year to watch the young birds develop before they leave the nest in August. Scotland is thought to have about 100 breeding pairs of ospreys.
