Osprey

After a quite patch visit on Saturday morning, I headed over the Welbeck Raptor Watchpoint; the Honey Buzzards failed to show, and there were no Red Kites to be had either, but (one of?) the Ospreys put on a nice show.




 Sunday, and two patch visits, morning and evening, didn't produced the hoped for Sanderling, which seemed to be turning up all over the place. The fact that four out of the five Coot nests on Mons Pool had been flooded out by the recent rains didn't improve things, but hundreds, maybe 500, Swifts were over the site.

    Interesting so many swifts there, they don't seem too numerous over town this year
