Osprey

This Osprey was spotted on Pollaphuca reservoir a couple of weeks ago and hung around for over a week, a long stay in one location by Irish standards.  The usual handful of sightings each year usually tend to be birds that don't hang around for more than a couple of days.

I've chased Ospreys over the years and they usually aren't as obliging as this one was, in fact I've definitely missed more than I've seen.  I visited this bird over two days, the second day was in fact the last day it was reported at the reservoir.
