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!
Yes it is a nice touch isn't it. Only just read it on the Galloway Birdforum, Haven't heard of any others in Galloway yet. No word of the Threave ones at Castle Douglas.
All I ask is the chance to prove that money can't make me happy. Spike Milligan

Thanks Alan for all the opsrey sightings, things really hotting up now and also to those who posted other sightings. I am finding it hard to keep now with so many different areas to post on but I will be OK once I concentrate only on ospreys which i will be doing.
