David,
 
Those inland records may well have been wandering Ospreys but some may have been misidentified juvenile/immature White-bellied Sea-Eagles which can look a little like Ospreys if observed under poor conditions of visibility or for a short duration or by inexperienced observers.  No doubt some Ospreys do wander inland during the non-breeding season.
 
Regards
Greg
