France , Landes : Wednesday, January 2nd, 2013 Marais d'Orx (Générique) / Orx (40) 2 Ospreys (Pandion haliaetus) [Yohann Montane ]
Alan. Just found this on the SoS site.
An osprey over Glyndebourne at 4pm today. Looked very much like a juvenile and noticeable was a missing innermost secondary feather on its right wing. Soared in low circles over fields, drifted off in a north westerly direction. Of interest to me was that I had pulled over in the exact same spot last spring to see an osprey, this flying in the opposite direction. Let us hope they steer clear of that turbine.
Where did we have one the other day with a missing primary?.
UPDATE> previous page, one at Thorney Island.
Birdies LG DU update.
There was an osprey at Leighton Moss on 22/9 which seems to have been overlooked too. link here

27/09 12:00 DEVON : Osprey, Lopwell Dam. It flew from Blindwell woods across the river Tavy straight above my head and then flew up river. I have known that an Osprey has been a regular visitor to the lower parts of the river Tavy (Warleigh Woods, Lopwell Dam) area for the last 4-5 years. I first spotted it myself 2 years ago in the very same place I have been spotting it this year. Thanks people for the welcome, and Rachel yes spotted this one yesterday, and have spotted it again today, and got a better photo today than yesterday. Would love to see one dive and catch a fish. Can anyone point me in the right direction as I am still learning to identify birds at the moment mainly birds of prey, I have books but still unsure sometimes, where is the best place online where people will help you to id them?
Hi Shane
Did you look at the DEVON link I gave you earlier? there is a load of information on there, also a Local Forum and groups for South Devon and Plymouth. They look as though they are an informative bunch and would ,I am sure ,be interested in your sighting.
As you will discover everyone, on these threads, have a vast knowledge and are most welcoming and helpful, as you see, Doggie has given you some good pointers.
Enjoy!!!!!
