Thanks MIKE Great capture

The Blog of the first Fledge.

Thanks again MIKE Fantastic videos

Thank you, Mike.  As a first-year osprey watcher, I am completely hooked on watching the various stages of their early lives.  Your pictures and videos are great!!

Thanks, Mike, for the links and thanks to All for the posts and captures--lovely.  Welcome, Pat O, to the Ospreyholics Anonymous Society!  Are you anywhere near any Osprey nest?  I am in Surrey and will only see them in person in August at Birdfair--can't wait (and hope they have not all migrated by then!).

Reading elsewhere I think you may be close to Weir Wood. If so you may get lucky later in the year as it is a well known 'stopover' for birds migrating in the Autumn. At that time of the year one will often hang around for a day or two. In the Spring they will call in but the urge to get home usually means their stay is brief, perhaps just for a rest overnight or a fish.

Welcome to the group

Don't think many ospreys nest in Sussex, but they have been spotted over Weir Wood Reservoir, presumably on their way north.

Oops - should have read all entries first! Thanks, Mike. I am very near Weir Wood and frequently sit in the hide for ages. If you happen to hear of an osprey visit, do post here and I'll jump in the car!
