+RonC Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Hopefully the Osprey eggs will have hatched by then, meaning the adult's will be out and about fishing and feeding their offspring. This will be the best time to see these 'fish-eagles' at their best!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philjay Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Thanks Ron & Mick for an enjoyable day Fliss and I enjoyed it. I now know how to recognize a few more of our feathered friends and the Ospreys were magnificent. When we got back to the visitor centre the video was showing the female feeding the chicks so I thought we had missed the action but it turned out to be a replay from earlier Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) You're more than welcome Phil, we did'nt see the male Osprey return but had great views of the female when she left the nest and flew around in front of us! A good day's birding, glad you enjoyed it!! Ron Edited June 10, 2012 by Ron Clarke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
