Comment :
La constance de cet oiseau m’étonnera toujours. Les années précédentes j'ai fait mes 1eres obs d'individu en halte en post nuptiale le 10/08/11 et le 19/08/12
Je suis donc tout naturellement allé le chercher ce 10/08/13 et il ne m'a pas fallu plus d'une demi heure pour le trouver sur un de ses perchoirs fétiches.
My French isn't great - is that saying that a bird has been sighted who has regularly been seen on previous southward migrations?
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Translation
The constancy of this bird always amazes me. In previous years I've done my obs 1eres self Bridal staging post on 10/08/11 and 19/08/12So I naturally went looking for it 10/08/13 and it did not take me more than half an hour to find it on one of his favorite perchesUsing Google Translate

Thanks, Tiger! You shouldn't have put that link on to Google Translate - I would have gone on assuming you could speak fluent French.

I wonder whether the Osprey in the Lot-et-Garonne(47) said to himself "Amazing,thats 3 years running I've seen the same man in the same place"

Osprey seen by Claude Champarnaud
Remarks : "Voyage avè le casse-croûte" which means literally "travelling with a snack". Perhaps on migration or perhaps with a fish in his claws?
11th August : 1 osprey
