Osprey on the Ouse
Osprey / Paolo Oprandi

An osprey has been hunting along the Ouse for the past few days.

Osprey photographed by Paolo Oprandi.


Ospreys breed in Northern Britain and (mostly) Northern Europe and most migrate south to below equatorial Africa each Autumn. Each year some pass through Sussex and can be seen along rivers and reservoirs.


The pale feathers on its back show that this is a young osprey.

    Osprey sighting today in Prinsted, catching fish on incoming tide! Thought to be juvenile.
