France , Landes : Wednesday, January 2nd, 2013 Marais d'Orx (Générique) / Orx (40) 2 Ospreys (Pandion haliaetus) [Yohann Montane ]
If that Suffolk one was EJ I'll cry!! Landguard is a stone's throw from where I'm currently sitting.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Well I'll be joining you Clare - am on catch-up with this thread (due to being poorly) & just found that there was one at Margate on Monday 19th Aug, just 5 miles up the road from me & I was playing at rescuing broken down car in another direction at the time........best if you don't find out if it was EJ !!!
