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 looks likely that the sighting we were speculating over yesterday was 5N(04).
BTW have been meaning to thank you for the increasing number of sightings you've been posting recently. For those of us stuck at work all day, and therefore not able to surf for these things, it's much appreciated. I'm really impressed at how "current" most have been - keep up the good work!
Thanks Sandy. Yes it does look like it was 5N(04). I had been waiting all day for someone to confirm another arrival at Rutland Water but other events kind of took over. Its been quite a day.

Hi Alan: Not beyond the bounds of possibility that this one is headed for RW - will be interesting to see if there are any arrivals there tomorrow.
