Re: Osprey

Thanks Steve. How lucky you were to get two Ospreys.

Would be interesting if anyone else who has witnessed the fishing times could post these to see if there is a pattern.

Steve, just looked at your photos on Flickr.....Wow that must have been some sight

PS Could not get your link to work so I have put a link to your 2 Osprey image here https://flic.kr/p/xWGKL6

Ah, thanks for pointing that out Robin. The forum software doesn't seem to like the https: link I used. Fixed now.

Re: Osprey

So today the Osprey at Noah's fished at 8am and caught a very large fish, and then again at 14:00. If anyone is interested I will post a few images from the success at 14:00 on my Flickr site later.

Re: Osprey

Today (Sunday), the Osprey went fishing at 7am, so it was an early breakfast. Sorry no other reports of any other fishing flights today.

Re: Osprey

Osprey caught a fish at 15.40 Sunday 30 August

+ seen making a catch at 13.55 Thursday 27 August in heavy rain. Both good sized fish.

Hope this is of interest

Re: Osprey

Got to Noah's at 7:15 this morning (Monday 31st) to find the Osprey was already eating, so I missed it fishing by a few minutes.

Re: Osprey

Seen to leave at 0916 this morning and had not returned by 1230 so that's 14 days up; uwatch this space!

Re: Osprey

So the bird had good meal at 8:30 and then departed. What a shame it has now moved on. It was great to watch and how about this for a final image. https://flic.kr/p/xP7p15

Hopefully there is still time for another bird to drop in.
