  • 4th and 5th had a spectacular passage of raptors at Gib including an osprey on both days

  • Wow--Scotland and North Yorkshire!  Thanks, Alan, seems things are well on the way.

    Kind regards, Ann

  • With its position, extension and many active birders, Germany is usually a good indicator of the migratory wave to the Baltic. This map from the local platform ornitho.de should update to show sightings in previous 15 days.

    Two plots in Baden-Württemberg as I'm typing, but I expect the count to increase shortly. There was a report over the Danish border two weeks ago, but I'm aware that the validator asked the observer to provide further details and it was possibly an outlier.

  • Thanks Roberto. I have been checking the French migration watchpoints but nothing spotted there yet.

  • Alan. Just come in from Gary Jones (Wildlife Photographer)on Facebook

    "Well thats made my day, driving to work this morning, crossing over the M6 to Birchwood , big bird flying low towards me.....I knew straight away what it was......OSPREY !!!!

    They're on their way back folks, this was heading towards Woolston Eyes, fishing stopover I reckon before continuing north. What a start to the day, absolutely thrilled to bits "

  • For those, like me, who had no idea where this was it is a Nature Reserve off the River Mersey outside Warrington.
