Osprey passage south
Back to the Cumbrian coast for 7.30am today and hopes of some visible migration were given a big boost by two ospreys heading south in the first hour. One of them hung around for a bit fishing the channel before disappearing south. Also today, an adult female and juvenile wheater, several swallows and house martins, a family party of Sandwich terns and around 180 ringed plover.
This juvenile wheatear spent most of the day on the fence line next to my vantage point.
I love these saltmarsh plants, this is sea aster just coming into flower.
Spartina anglica, common cord-grass.
Glasswort sp.
