A couple just popped into the reserve just off the M6 at Preston, while a younger bird hung around and hunted in the lakes and the nearby River Ribble.
The thought of this magnificent bird of prey making a home in the North West is just too exciting to contemplate and we have had a couple of close encounters in recent years, with other sightings in Wigan and West Lancashire.
About 10 years ago Electricity North West erected a telegraph pole at Brockholes and we placed a nesting platform, a high rise flat for ospreys.
A couple of them have investigated but over that decade we had only had birds dropping in as they head north to Cumbria or Scotland in spring or Africa in autumn.
Then two years ago, an osprey that had been chased away from its territory in North Lancashire, spent quite a few weeks hunting on the Ribble and at Brockholes, delighting birders, many of whom broke lockdown rules to get a closer look.
This bird looked as though it was hanging around.
