Osprey!

It's happened before, I get ready to leave and suddenly a good bird flies over, this time at about 14:55 an adult Osprey flew in from the South at around 200 feet, began circling over the landfill and then steadily rose to about 1500 feet over the next 7-8 minutes, finally spreading it's wings and heading off North.

I even got some audaciously cheeky, but of course poor digi-scoping iphone shots.... poor indeed, but I challenge anyone to try taking a digi shot of a circling raptor at 800-1000 feet.

Of somewhat less exciting news, it was stil nice to see 4 Common Sandpiper and 3 Green Sandpiper on Lavell's today. Richard had 5 Common on Sandford later which is kind of no surprise, when the 4 flew off around 10:00.

3 Swift also passed just East of car park field during my one hour sky watch.
