    Did you add some more on those days that I hadn't noticed Alan? Sometimes miss your post for a couple of days because doesn't have bold heading in menu on home page for some unknown reason!

    At least two different adult Ospreys at Arne, Dorset, this morning. Both seen carrying fish, and one (Beaky?) eating on dead tree for a while. The other one struggled with its fish and eventually dropped down into a field where it was bothered by corvids. It then flew leaving the fish behind. This photo shows its tenuous grip on the fish before descending.
