Osprey sightings 2013

France , Landes :

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2013
Marais d'Orx
(Générique) / Orx (40)
2 Ospreys (Pandion haliaetus) [Yohann Montane ]

  • This is a well reported bird because the administrators of faune-charente-maritime also informed Roy Dennis. Ah well, better twice than not at all. They have made a note of the details on the faune-site "Il s'avère que cet individu a été marqué poussin le 7 juillet 2013 à Glengarry, dans l'Inverness-shire, en Ecosse (56 58’N 5 3’W)." Which gives the details of when & where, for those interested.

    Thankyou to Roy Dennis for taking the time to reply to my mail too.

    Best wishes

    Hazel in Southwest France
