Résumé :	After their extinction in the first half of the 20th century, mainly by hunting, Ospreys returned to Bavaria as a breeding species in 1992 when one pair nested. Protection of the birds by foresters and provision of artificial nests helped the population grow to 4 pairs in 2008. Three of the females were hatched in Brandenburg and Saxony. Nesting pairs are monitored annually. In total 41 young have fledged to date. The slow population growth seems typical for small, remote subpopulations. Habitat requirements and means for the restoration of the natural breeding range are discussed, such as the provision of artificial nests and translocation of young to potential nesting areas.
