Osprey

With light easterly winds this morning and low cloud soon burning off it was not surprising that the highlight of our visit was an Osprey flying over high enjoying the thermals heading west at 11:25am. Also noted were Sparrowhawk, Buzzard, 3 Common Tern, Oystercatcher, 3 Gadwall, Sand Martin, Whinchat and 5 Yellow Wagtail. Despite the grass just being cut there were plenty of butterflies on the wing by mid-day with at least 5 Brimstone, 15 Peacock, 6 Green-veined White, 4 Small Tortoiseshell and a Comma.
