Osprey's tale; An interesting note regarding yesterdays Osprey is that
it is a radio tagged individual. It is a juvenile bird hatched at Keilder Water in
Northumberland and has made its way south on its migration. On Monday night it
roosted on a pylon just north of Oxford only to make its way to
Portland the following day, fly out to sea, return shortly after and roost somewhere near Weymouth. The bird has now departed the UK and made it to France so today's Osprey was a different bird!
