This is the new thread for posting reports of osprey sightings, whether on the internet, in the press or in real life.
For the benefit of any new or less frequent viewers, it might be helpful if the first person to refer to a regular online source of information, for example Faune-Aquitaine, provided a link and a brief explanation of what the site is about.
Let the migration season commence!

Sandy Interesting sighting in Downpatrick. It shows that ospreys do travel through Ireland. One of the red ringed ospreys from the 1996 translocation to Rutland may have spent quite a while at Loch Beg (just north of Loch Neagh) in June 2001.
