(Générique) / Orx (40)
2 Ospreys (Pandion haliaetus) [Yohann Montane ]

  • The thought of Oighrig flying right over Bristol  ! I always thought Ospreys avoided the city like the plague ... dear boy , keep safe till you return

  • Oh MIKE , thanks for that link. Wonderful to see that  ...   A buzzard flew over my suburbian home this morning. My heart did a leap even tough I could see the wings were too broad and no kink in them

  • Thanks Mike, great pic for comparing buzzard and osprey.
