visited reserve on sunday 8th sept and walked to joist fen and arrived approx 7am and spotted the osprey sitting on oak post , where it stayed for almost 3 hours until it flew off towards white bungalow and beyond . Myself and another chap sat waiting for it to fly around which it did once for a few secs then back to oak post again .we did manage a few grainy pics as it was too far away.
I'm delighted you saw it - many thanks for posting the photo!
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
