We had a chance to go up to Whinlatter this afternoon to see the resident osprey, we were quite lucky because when we reached the viewing platform there was a bit of excitement as a third osprey had made an appearance and was perched on a fence post at the edge of the lake, the wardens had trained a telescope on it and it just stayed there for quite a time, giving us a great view.
