Is the osprey shown in the LBC Album (reproduced below) and photographed by Steve Nesbitt on the 9th Sept 2012, one of Roy Dennis's birds (a male called Red 8T) which spent the night in woods just NE of Coddington, Newark on the 8th Sept and passed Grantham at 10am on the 9th Sept 2012?
Steve's image was taken at approx 15:00hrs, by which time Red 8T was between Pitsford Reservoir and east of Oxford. Suggesting that there were at least two Ospreys through Grantham on the 9th Sept. Another one (?) was seen close by Ian Misselbrook at Burton Coggles on the 10th Sept.
Details of Red 8T journey can be seen at
