Do you think they're tempted by those lovely big fish swimming around in st mary's gardens lake?
I think that they would need a bird with immense strength to lift one of those.
As a lot of sightings of Osprey's are on a very similar line, I was wondering it there was some kind of unseen line to the naked eye that they are following.
