If, like me, you don't know where this is it is near Blackpool

So you do know where it is Mike.

I do now after a Google search!

18:09 12/03 Western Osprey Hertfordshire Welwyn Garden City
one flew towards Panshangar Park late afternoon

Looking this up it is ironic that the Park has a large lake...……..named...…….OSPREY LAKE!!

I wonder if this as a result of past use??

Apparently Ospreys are regularly seen at the lake during migration, and a nest platform was built in 2011 to try to tempt them to stay over. It has recently been refurbished.

Thank you Richard, the naming had to be more than just a coincidence!
