A beautiful bird of prey — an Osprey — has been seen around the flash over the last few weeks. A few lucky people have even watched it fishing, though I haven’t managed to spot it myself just yet.
Ospreys are still considered rare breeding birds in the UK, with an estimated 300–400 breeding pairs nationwide.
There have also been reports of Cuckoos in the area. I’ve heard their call, though I’ve not caught sight of one so far.
Still, it’s hard to feel disappointed when simply being out in the fresh air, watching the new goslings and ducklings, is such a rewarding way to spend time.
