With the climate change it seems that some of the 'British' Ospreys are getting lazy and spending winter in your country instead of continuing to West Africa!!Richard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300766267906463889.post-58535812259903088672012-04-08T09:40:38.313+01:002012-04-08T09:40:38.313+01:00Great to have those artificial plataforms to see t...Great to have those artificial plataforms to see this beauty!<br />Saludos!!Ornitocampero.blogspot.com.eshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11838267852682009415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300766267906463889.post-43376290707131753472012-04-03T09:15:22.485+01:002012-04-03T09:15:22.485+01:00Hi Linda.

It never ceases to amaze me that newly-fledged Ospreys manage to independently find their way to West Africa and then, AFTER TWO OR THREE YEARS !!!, find their way back to their place of origin. There's a large percentage of youngsters that don't survive this hazardous journey. Unfortunately, some of that is due to the actions of Man. What really upsets me, however, is when an Osprey returns to UK - and then perishes at the hand of Man. We believe this has happened to three of our Ospreys recently, and have had to resort to extra surveillance to try and prevent this happening again!Richard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300766267906463889.post-36328815590238212792012-04-02T23:50:22.342+01:002012-04-02T23:50:22.342+01:00I have been following Lock of Lowes and Loch Garte...I have been following Lock of Lowes and Loch Garten stories of their ospreys. It's amazing that the same ospreys are back, Lock of Lowes female 'Lady' has returned to her 22nd breeding year. I believe here at the RSPB reserve in Arne, the RSPB have built a platform in hopes that ospreys will start to breed here in the South.Linda Yarrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804368844243909168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300766267906463889.post-75072346156871914642012-04-02T09:33:06.322+01:002012-04-02T09:33:06.322+01:00Thank you Christian.

These birds are just amazing to watch. <br /><br />Although I expressed disappointment at the lack of water in front of Waderscrape Hide, Rutland Water is a fabulous place to visit, and just gets better and better. With 34 hides and 2 visitor centres, you now need a full two days or more to take in everthing here.Richard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300766267906463889.post-81194243608429367902012-04-02T09:12:03.458+01:002012-04-02T09:12:03.458+01:00Hi Richard

Cracking fly-by images - it must be wonderful to be that close to this stunningly beautiful (if not incestuous) bird-of-prey.Millhouse Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14900757844395788703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300766267906463889.post-8960606915595057152012-04-01T10:46:02.409+01:002012-04-01T10:46:02.409+01:00Thank you John.

We're all keeping our fingers crossed as we had a major disappointment last year when our 'star male bird' disappeared in mysterious circumstances, leaving his female to fend for herself whilst trying to incubate a clutch of eggs. Sadly, in spite of help from the team, although she made it, the eggs didn't come to anything - actually it's more complicated than that, but I won't go into it here!Richard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300766267906463889.post-87485932723921140402012-03-31T18:20:33.778+01:002012-03-31T18:20:33.778+01:00Wonderful to see Richard,superb captures.
