Heading South

In the last couple of weeks Ospreys have spent time fishing lakes and reservoirs in the Pennines as they headed south to their wintering grounds in Africa. Whenever I see an Osprey it always takes me back 15 years to a magical day, when I spent 11 hours in a hide, 20 foot off the ground, overlooking an Osprey nest that contained three large young. It was a day that I will never forget due to the fact that in those eleven hours the male brought 9 fish back to the nest! I sat t?ere taking still photos and video that I will never get chance to repeat!
