I shall pretend that it was Breagha ;-)  How dare that reporter not have a camera with him/her? >:(

Thank you for all your reports, ALAN :-)

Yes, they are - so is East Anglia.  I'm pleased to see all of the Suffolk sightings in particular.  I bet the visitor numbers at Lakenheath have gone up!

We have been discussing the "2K" sighting on Facebook. General feeling is that it is a case of mistaken identity - ring appears to be on the left leg, so a Scottish bird, and the bird in the photo is surely an adult.

Amongst the numerous observations of Ospreys in the area, there is one that could have been Breagh:

7/9 Bréhémont (37) 1st year osprey seen by Benjamin Griard, Julien Présent & Patrick Derrien.

It's a nice thought, isn't it?  Thanks, Noisette.
