OSPREY. LAKE VYRNWY

Seeing Phils blog Re. ospreys .one sighting  i missed to blog last night was that of what i think is a returning juvenile bird (seen from distance the upper rear and wingtip area looked quite dark.) travelling along the upper reaches of the lake fairly low appr. 30 to 40 feet above the water heading away from the dam. but lost sight of it behind trees and did'nt see it again evan though i drove around the top end of the lake and stopped fairly frequently.
