2022 162-365 Osprey
Heading to see friends for the weekend, we detoured to Rutland Water to see the Ospreys.
While watching from the hide, we were just about able to see the nest, and saw the male fly off into a tree nearby.
We decided to walk back to our campervan as it was quite a distance at a different car park. As we did, we went down a footpath near the water. Seeing a bird flying, we both said "is that what I think it is?" Sure enough it was, so we just watched the osprey. Getting my camera out again, I waited a short while, and it returned, much closer than from the hide! He did look like he was thinking of fishing, but no joy. We were unable to stay any longer, but what a treat!
