Ospreys low flying Emsworth Hampshire
23:30 16/5/18 just watched an Osprey returning to Thorney ( I guess) four Very low passes from south to north first pass around 21:30 managed to catch the back of it after hearing a jet ( we thought ) on its return the twin side by side rotors kinda gave it away ! What a sight two Very large green circles ( blade tips) approx 500 feet over the house and trees heading south like a bat out of hell .... no rotor sound at all only on one pass did we hear the rotors .. I would say it sounds like a small fast jet ! Odd anyone else seen one this eve ? We live in emsworth always seeing chinooks- never seen an Osprey in the UK let alone at night ... green rotor tips side by side disappearing over houses looks very strange :) |
