Today's walk: new osprey viewpoint and Dodd


the head of Bassenthwaite Lake from the old osprey viewpoint


the previous nest site was across the lake in the forest on the right of Barf


the view of Derwentwater from the new higher osprey viewpoint


the nest is on the highest dark tree with Derwentwater and Portinscale beyond


the route beyond the viewpoint is closed but the trails are open


looking back down the green trail with Bass Lake below


view over the River Derwent towards Newlands Valley from the green trail


our walk over Dodd to Keswick of 19th March would now not be possible


looking back down the green trail


arriving at Dodd summit


two friends met by chance on the hill looking for ospreys


looking down Bass Lake from Dodd summit
