Late arrival due to infuriating Sunday Driving, so I dashed round to the Oak Hide. I was soon admiring 3 Black Terns, an imm Little Gull, a Greenshank, a juv Knot,and a couple of Common Sandpipers.
The point hide has similar but there was a Herring Gull sat down ...
... that morphed into an adult Yellow-Legged Gull when it stood up.
I was about to leave, when I gave the far shore another scan for the Buzzards and Hobby that had been reported earlier. They were absent, but there was this ...
... that on close inspection turned out to be this.
I spent the next half-hour watching this Osprey diving into the water in frustrated attempts to catch a fish.
I was just one annoying Sunday Driver away from missing it too, as I was overdue on my leaving time. I guess sometimes you just don't realise when someone's doing you a favour

I've always been reading your blogs and I found it interesting. Going to visit Dorset and I'll be staying at Dorset holiday cottages.
They're cute! Very nice photo!
