A YOUNG osprey has made a record-breaking 3000-mile migration flight, park rangers believe.
Alba, who hatched in May at the RSPB centre in Loch Garten in the Highlands, has taken two weeks to fly from her nest to a warmer site near Senegal in west Africa.
Rangers at the reserve in the Cairngorms have been tracking her progress online via a satellite tag. They believe she has made the fastest migration of any tagged osprey in Europe.
