Very nice Snappy, there was a pair up the river Tamar, took over a osprey platform.

Thanks William Funny, I often see them in trees and the partner of this one was up a tree.

Great photo. Like the others I have never seen one in the wild.

Thanks Jack. I think they are spreading their range quite quickly, probably one coming your way soon...

It got to 7:40 and I thought Snappy's late Shame it didn't come on to that front katkin, but still a lovely detailed shot. I'm always excited to see them as they're quite a rarity for me!

Thanks PB, yes on the late shift today... I often only see a few in a year. These were into the light, I couldn't even see what they were without zooming in on the back of the camera In fact in one photo I had 4, I hadn't seen the others
