04/09/2022

Due to an injured shoulder I didn't carry my camera this morning on my walk around The Desert, so I was not as pleased as I should have been when 1 of 2 Ospreys I saw while wandering came right overhead, all I could do was point my phone up at it. Also seen there were a juvenile Marsh Harrier, 3 Whinchat, a few each of Willow Warbler, Common and Lesser Whitethroat, Reed Warbler and Great spotted Woodpecker.
