Ospreys! The final osprey count for the day is nine, slightly less than our impressive twelve seen yesterday. We're very lucky to be the choice osprey migration route and based on previous years we expect to see them for another week, so drop by if you haven't had a chance to see them yet. We are hearing rumors that the first pink-footed geese are on the way, watch this space!

This week we've also had daily sightings of; red squirrels, kingfishers, a greenshank, black-tailed godwit, sparrowhawks, kestrels, common and black darter dragonflies, a dunlin. Our warden Vicky saw 250 curlew today and also frightened twenty snipes just next to the flood!
