Alright peter...get yourself up to sweethope loch or sweethope lough is the proper name......pair where hanging about all last year and are back this year...and they are not the kielder pair.....like yourself dont want to give too much away but they are back this year...and have ben taking fish from the big loch or lough as they say.

Seen one circuling the smaller loch over easter from my caravan window and for 1 minute thought it was going to come down and take a fish...but for some reason changed its mind....however later on in the day two were seen at the top end of the big loch....suppose thats all i can say !!!!

Thats fine Shark!
I know the birds you are on about (as you know!)- you have not posted any nesting info, though you will no doubt know as well as me where they are!
Looking forward to another sucsessfull season- looks good so far!

Everyone knows there are Osprey in Northumberland mate, wouldn't worry about a few do gooders. I am all for protecting nest site and if I ever saw anyone attempting to steal eggs from any bird they would get a message from me. You have gave nothing away other than an area where Osprey are known to fish.
