    River Gwash Ospreys video  and the text

    Here’s the new arrival in action. Normally when the Ospreys take a fish from us they take it away from the site to eat, on this occasion this bird was quite happy spending 10 minutes picking it apart on a nearby telegraph pole

    And followed it up with a a telescope photo
