We were fortunate to see an Osprey on migration over Etherow Country Park in Manchester yesterday afternoon going north.
When we got home this prompted Jen to find a very interesting web site about Osprey migration - well worth a look at http://www.roydennis.org/ Its a site for the Highland Foundation for Wildlife which includes satellite tracking of Ospreys and Honey Buzzards etc and provides a wealth of information about individual movements of birds to and from West Africa.
Iv'e been out looking for migrating Ospreys this morning - just a Curlew over Lee Mount going >NW! Keep on the look -out in next 2/3 weeks!

That's a super site - I'm glued to it daily.
While I'm here, any idea which raptors do 'talon grabbing' besides harriers. A non-birder colleague was watching 2 birds of prey off the terrace at work (Sweet & Maxwell in Mytholmroyd)and described this activity well - but he didn't know what the birds were. He said they were about kestrel sized although when he showed with his hands the size was bigger than that. He said they came really low before they let go - he thought they were going to hit the trees. I know peregrines are close - do they do that?
Sandra
Yes they do.
Hm! Interesting...... Maybe i should take up smoking then I can spend more time on the terrace looking over the valley!
I have seen two adult male Peregrines talon grappling this last winter over the wind farm at Fly Flats. Also they were very noisy with it - probably dispute over territory boundaries - or just showing off!
