Fontburn Osprey

Took my son up for a day's fishing up at Fontburn yesterday and although our session was unproductive, we were treated to the spectacular sight of an Osprey diving for fish over the reservoir. The warden told us that it had been making regular appearances over the last week or two, and he believed it might be one of last years offspring from Kielder. It certainly had a better catch rate than we did anyway...

that must have been some sight, might be worth taking the camera up for the day, of course the day i go will be inbetween the visits by the osprey
 
Two of us fished Sweethope last month, and we saw the osprey circling over the eastern end of the Great Lough. I guess it could be the same bird. No difference, they are a great sight, along with the deer.
