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!

No problem Margobird. I am enjoying it. There are so many now. Great news.
02/04 11:16 STAFFORDSHIRE : Osprey, Belvide Reservoir (PERMIT ONLY) [S]one flew over north mid-morning (10:15)
Yes it is wonderful news and I hope they will be avoiding this part of the country today. The rain here for the last couple of hours has been horrendous, back lawn looking like a lake at the moment. I will have to swim out to put more food out for the birds if it doesn't stop soon.
The rain has not reached here yet but looking at the rainfall radar it is on its way. The sun has just come out.

Alan so good to read about all these sighting.
After nearly 3 hours of torrential rain the sun is out now although still black clouds scudding accros the sky. Hope you don't have it so heavy.
Still no rain. Expected to reach here about 4p.m.
