Another mega hot day!After meeting friends for lunch at the splendid Strickland Arms, we went to Halecat Nursery which was excellent as usual. Next we drove back to Fowlshaw Moss mainly to get an annual tick for Osprey which nest here. The views, however, are very distant, so just a tick collecting exercise. Until we met two birders who told us of a second pair also nesting, one of the birds being an offspring of the original pair. So we went back to the platform from which they could be seen and there they were, just about in photography distance. Heather was watching through the scope and exclaimed that another bird had just flown in. Magic. Presumably the male returning with food as it soon flew of again passing right over head. Fabulous.
The Moss is also good for dragonflies, especially black darters and white faced darter. No white-faced to be seen but I did get shots of black darter.
An excellent day again.
