Marais d'Orx
(Générique) / Orx (40)
2 Ospreys (Pandion haliaetus) [Yohann Montane ]

  • We visited Trimley Marshes (Suffolk Wildlife Trust) this afternoon only to be told an osprey had flown over......yesterday.

    Our herring gulls are red listed birds.  Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

    We were also told that it was definitely not a ringed Osprey.
