Osprey Sightings 2019

Not on any list I have Colin.
Oh dear, like Scylla, am I reassured, or truly worried about EJ now? But she is a seasoned traveller...!

Latest from Gibraltar

24 Mar: Heavy levanter cloud with strong easterly winds. Some Black Kites were observed battling against the strong easterly winds and heading along the east side of the Rock. The incessant easterly winds, dominating throughout most of the past few weeks, has prevented most raptor passage over the Rock this season, and the dry conditions are not helping the native flora.

Very many thanks Alan , not only for this post but for all your effort in posting re Osprey sightings. Always appreciated though not acknowledged.

Well said, Cirrus. This might explain why some appear late, but aren't necessarily be so.

EDIT: 

 Levanter, also spelled levante, strong wind of the western Mediterranean Sea and the southern coasts of France and Spain. It is mild, damp, and rainy and is most common in spring and fall. Its name is derived from Levant, the land at the eastern end of the Mediterranean, and refers to the wind's easterly direction.
