There is an Osprey, as it flew over me heading south west, then about 30 mins later, came back over heading north east towards Fairford, that was about 15 mins ago?

Just to add, I didn't see if it went into Fairford and not on any tracking sites.

Visited twice - both approaches were full stops, one of which was a landing on the Southern taxiway.
