I have been suffering for quite a while now, so this morning I finally gave in and went to see the local doctor here in Machynlleth.
It was a little embarrassing. She asked me to explain the symptoms I have been experiencing. "I keep seeing large birds", I told her, "particularly near water, and I think they are all ospreys. I’ve even taken photos of them.”
"Don't ospreys migrate in the winter to somewhere warmer?" she asked. Of course, I knew she was right but I'm still convinced the birds I’ve seen are ospreys.
