Yes, they are. And bullies, too.

They're pretty and all, but I just find them disagreeable. And that screeching...

Could be somebody posing as me. :nuts:

Eagle hunter (with not for) from the Altai Mountains is proud as punch,
The woman looks nervous (mumbling something like crazy old fool).
And the kid is like what's happening, why is Mom standing over there?

That's peak human right there. I would wish for nothing more.

Live Osprey nest cam - Loch Arkaig - Woodland Trust

Follow the story of our resident osprey pair, Louis and Aila, live from the heart of an ancient Caledonian pine forest.

Head over to our website to join the conversation.

The story so far.

Our live nest camera, supported by players of People's Postcode Lottery, has been streaming footage of breeding ospreys from Loch Arkaig Pine Forest since 2017.

The camera will be live throughout the 2020 season to bring you a glimpse of forest life from the Scottish Highlands.

Our resident pair Louis and Aila have now returned. We expect other birds to drop in and check out the nest too, and perhaps even the occasional night-time visitor.

Keep tuning in to watch the story unfold.

Ospreys occasionally pass through Weston Turville reservoir just SE of Aylesbury and also at the reservoirs near Tring but I've never been fortunate enough to see one.
I'm told that those visitors are usually en-route to Scandinavia rather than Northern England or Scotland.

I have seen Ospreys but had to travel 4,500+ miles for the privilege!
Saw two in one afternoon returning from Yellowstone to Cody WY and what a spectacular sight they were.

Very nice, once I could identify three live birds and an inert bird shaped lump of bark.

They're in loch-down.

This was the hilarious moment a pigeon was spotted clinging onto the wing of a plane at Gatwick airport during take-off.

The clip, filmed on August 26, 2019, shows the pigeon bracing itself for take-off by ducking down against the wind.

The filmer, Luke Cambell told Newsflare: "I can't believe I caught it on camera! A pigeon can be seen clinging onto the plane on takeoff!

I was surprised it managed to cling on for as long as it did, to be honest! I thought it was going to be there with us the whole flight!

"The pigeon was unharmed from what I could tell, it just took a bit of a tumble when the wind speed became too much!"

Shame it wasn't a squirrel.
