Osprey sighting

Hi , yesterday i had a super sighting of an osprey sitting on a branch over looking the river forth right beside the road (a 84). It was next to the roundabout near the junction with the m9 at stirling . I couldnt get a picture as it flew off as i got out the car . It was in perfect view and just made my day.

Lucky you benlui. I've not caught up with one yet, but I'm sure it won't be long.

Hi, it was just pure luck we were driving past and it was sitting there in full view . wanted to get a picture but the road was really busy and by the time we got back round and parked as soon as i opened my door it flew off, got alot to learn about birdwatching.
