Osprey Still!

16/09/12
It was amazing to see that the adult OSPREY was still present at Upton Warren and i enjoyed another session with it perched at the back of the flashes, It really is an awesome bird! For an Osprey to stay at a single location and be so easy to see is quite a rare occurence. It was there for 18 days at this point!
The flashes was alive with wader activity, amongst the usuals, the Dunlin was still present, alongside 11 Green Sandpipers, a Common Sandpipers and 9 Snipe.
It was also nice to see that the eclipse drake PINTAIL was still at the flashes, and was showing ok from the path near the bench.
c800 BHG were in the roost by the time we left.
