Kielder Forest Ospreys

Visited Kielder last year, without my camera (duh ) and saw some magnificent sights including the first nesting pair of Osprey for two hundred years and two chicks.
Red squirrels, Roe deer, bats, ospreys, goshawks, hen harriers, siskin, crossbill, kestrel, buzzard, tawny and barn owls, dragonflies, adders and slow worms.
It is well worth a visit if you are in this part of the Country or on your way to Loch Garten. I will be back this year WITH my camera !!

Of all creatures, man is the most detestable, he is the only creature that inflicts pain for sport, knowing it to be pain.
