Osprey on a bike

A couple of mad weeks at work since my two weeks leave so not had any time to update the blog. Mrs D and I had two fantastic days in Rutland cycling and birding. The star attraction were of course the Ospreys that were doing very well in Manton bay with four chicks on the nest. 

The Osprey reserve have installed a new double tier hide with has made viewing even better. Other species of note were 2 Arctic Tern & 6 Egyptian Geese both being year ticks whilst best of the others were 20 Common Tern & a Barn Owl out hunting on our second morning.
