Sutton Bingham - Sun 4 May

A late afternoon visit today and there wasn't a huge amount to report, however, as I was stood at the northern causeway I had a bit of a shock as an Osprey appeared and successfully caught a fish, albeit a rather small one! I then lost it as it gradually gained height and drifted south. Here's a distant record shot!

I then went down the arm and had a look around, the pick of the birds being a pair of Teal. Then, to my surprise, the Osprey reappeared and took another fish, circled the reservoir and headed off to the south-west, not to be seen again, although it was closer, enabling slightly better record shots...slightly better!

So a pretty good visit in the end, with a decent year tick.
