Juvenile Ospreys have now been driven from the nest (see last year’s, It’s time you went) and are now out fishing on their own.
Juveniles are distinctive, and now is the brief time to see them before they migrate and return in a few years as breeding adults. The wing feathers of the juveniles are tipped in white, almost as if they have been dipped in cream. And unlike the adults, which have yellow eyes, the juveniles rivet you with an orange stare.
