In search of the Ospreys

South over Ogden golf course
Sunset at Ogden

Thinking it was an ideal evening for a moving Osprey with a light southerly breeze, showers and clear skies I skived off my chores and walked from Ogden to the Withens where I was proved wrong. At least I got the moving bit right with Black Terns showing up in the area, just got the species and location wrong. Never the less it was a good walk and Swallows were piling through the Withens Gap, that was until a fighter jet come steaming through and after that I never saw another Swallow. Jays were plentiful but they were local birds and Woodpigeons were coming from all directions to roost in the plantation.
The water held the usual Common and Black Headeds as well as 4 LBBs and a Gt Crested Grebe was curled up asleep in the centre.BS
By this time cars were rolling in to the area so I thought it was time I left  before they started handing out the wakky baccer.
