And another?
A second (or the same?) Osprey also over Fly Flatts/Soil Hill general area at 0925 (Dave Barker)
Hi Nick etal HC and myself picked up an Osprey soaring high over Denholme, this seen from the Oxenhope watchpoint this morning at 0920hr coming in from the north east. It continued to soar gaining even more height and drifted off very high SE over the Clayton direction. We folowed it as far as we could see it and it kept on going in that direction. This must be a different bird to the bird seen from Soil Hill, which apparently we missed as, I am told that came low from our direction, through the col and continued low into Calderdale, somewhat later than ours.
Copies are available at £6.00 each from the GO local store at Woodlesford, Pellon price . Hopefully they will also be available at the Fox and Goose Hebden Bridge ,

Thanks Dave, I went up Fly Flatts myself this afternoon but saw very little, lots of shooting on the moor though.
