Let Os Prey!

Terrible pun: lovely bird. I'd just remarked to the Strumpshaw Thursday regulars that things felt right for an Osprey, when I saw one in the distance towards Rockland: within a couple of minutes it was overhead, allowing really acceptable images for once.....
Other birds of note included Cuckoo, Buzzard and Treecreeper, with further views of Swallowtails, a Brown Argus and numerous Hairy Dragonflies.
