    1. Ruth you Are absolutely right. Thank you for picking up this big mistake. Posted 6 years ago
  3. I agree with Ruth, this is an osprey (Pandion haliaetus). Would you mind that I switch it to the correct name/species? Posted 6 years ago
    1. Hi Marta.
      Yes you are both right. My mistake must be either to much of something or age related.

      1. You're not alone Ernst...last year I labelled a redback find as an orb weaver ha ha....er, just slightly different. My mind must have been on other things. Posted 6 years ago
