I was chatting in the car park to a chap who was making his first visit to Flanders when he suddenly said "what's that ?" and above me appeared an osprey flying low over the us heading south circling slowly. Very exciting, grabbed my camera and took a few poor shots. Ospreys breed in the area, drawn especially to all the lovely big trout stocked in the Lake of Menteith. The young have lefts the nests and hanging around the area before the plucky up courage and give into instinct and head south the spend the winter in the west of Africa. So now is as good a time to see them in the area. Look up and you might be lucky. This was the chaps first osprey he had seen as well so a good day all round !
