Tree Pipits and Osprey
Tree Pipit was an obvious feature of the morning, with a total of 10 birds including this unusually showy individual. A juvenile Osprey tracked east as lunchtime approached. We later headed to some woodland, where we enjoyed this juvenile Eurasian Goshawk and a high-flying European Honey Buzzard. Afterwards, a check of the marshes produced three Ruff and a flock of 13 juvenile Icelandic Black-tailed Godwits.
