We saw an Osprey flying south following the Gironde estuary at Mortagne sur Gironde, Charente Maritime on the 9 August around 10h00 in the morning. It didn't stop to say hello or fish, although it was flying quite low. Probably an early migrator.

Thanks Noisette. There is surprisingly little movement south so far in UK. Apart from Lady s departure from Loch of the Lowes there have been only one or two other ospreys seen flying south so far.
It's not so surprising when you consider that most ospreys arrived later than usual in spring.
