Unknown said:Osprey, Splatt Bridge
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Your wish is my command Clare!
Splatt Bridge This carries a minor road leading to fields. Nearby is a classical-style bridgeman's house. The name is derived from the ancient plot of waste ground around the head of Frampton Pill, an inlet from the River Severn once used by small vessels supplying the village of Frampton-on-Severn.
