Thanks for the updates Alan. As you suggest, trying not to get too excited!! Ian
I've recently returned from Gambia and saw a lot of ospreys, I don't want to say dozens but it felt like it, magical. Sadly none had any rings to identify them, one looked like it had a silver coloured ring but just too distant for any of us.
