    Saw my first osprey of the year in the flesh this morning over Middlebere! Worth putting up with all the fog for, as it appeared just after the fog lifted. This may be CJ7 but I don't know.

    Well Done Alison, always a thrill to see your first Osprey of the season, I have been lucky enough to have seen the male and female in the feather at Threave in Dumfries and Galloway. Grinning
