Aitor Galarza reports that Beatrice has been seen in the Txingudi estuary  –  I think this morning but no further details yet. Weather reports sunny spells this morning but rain around for most of week

Later message from Aitor: Beatrice was seen and photographed by Itziar Gutierrez last evening in the estuary. I thank her for the photo below.

This estuary is about 70 km west of Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve where the young Scottish ospreys are being released by the Urdaibai Osprey Project. Aitor has sent me this photo of the nest they have built at Txingudi estuary as part of the osprey restoration project in the Basque Country.
