The spell
of good weather has been good for more than just gardeners it seems.
An osprey
has been spotted on the Island today.
Director
of Manx Birdlife Neil Morris, says he spotted the bird of prey in Santon this
morning.
The
raptor is considered a rarity in the Island's skies, with just
one or two sightings each year of the bird as a passing migrant.
The bird
was heading northwards, gaining height as it did so, and Neil described the
sight as "magic!"
According
to the RSPB, there is believed to be just 200-250 breeding pairs in the
British Isles with Scotland considered a 'stronghold' for the species.
