    Male 2007, ringing location unknown (White with black letters AA)

    Cracking photos!

    Thanks to UK Ospreys website

    Photographed at Lossiemouth which seems to be pretty far north in Scotland. If it is a male and has followed the textbooks, it is nesting near to where it hatched, possibly, but then they do not all read the textbooks... else why would there be a Scottish-hatched bird wanting to nest now at Llyn Brenig in Wales, for example? I wonder if Roy Dennis can release where Osprey AA hatched.

    Kind regards, Ann
