We spotted the raptor from the car, and Greger pulled into a passing place for a few minutes. We were looking into the sun so the bird looked all-dark, but as it was hovering above a loch it seemed likely to be an osprey!
The osprey flew to the far shore where it was lost against the moorland - and a pair of greenshanks, which had been flying around in protest at the osprey's presence, calmed down and returned to their corner of the loch. A sand martin was also present.
