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!

Alan it msut be difficult keeping up with things now, such an influx of ospreys. Could be that Odin will arrive soon.

Yes Alan let there be many, many ospreys.
2 more in Scotland:01/04 15:36 PERTH & KINROSS : Osprey, Kinross [S]one north over the SNH office this afternoon and another north near Glenfarg
Alan perhaps one is Odin and the other is Eric wouldn't it be wonderful if they both turn up now. Mabel/Mabel at LOL back on nest a short time ago searching the skies. Let's hope EJ is looking out for Odin too.
Lets hope so Margobird .
