We called in at Foulshaw Moss on our way home from Hodbarrow today. At first
the views of the ospreys were fairly typical, miles away through the telescope
with a heat haze to contend with. Apart from the fact that I could
occasionally see a movement it was difficult to be sure that the ospreys were even
there. Eventually though one flew from the nest towards us and suddenly there
was a call overhead as a third adult flew right over our viewing area.
Obviously the adult on the nest had seen it before us and headed over to drive
the intruder away.
Meanwhile a live osprey cam on a wardens phone revealed that there were two
chicks in the nest.
Common lizard.
The osprey nest is behind the trees that you can just about see in the right of the photo!
