This bird looks like an adult based on the absence of barring in the greater underwing coverts and pure white underwing coverts, juveniles won't be flying until early July in any case.

Another record of Osprey at Rowsley
Ken confirms his position not only as the top Osprey finder but also photographer having located and phtoographed another bird at Rowsley today. I also had a call from Simon Roddis to say he had seen an Osprey over Darley Dale this morning which one assumes is likely to be the same bird.
