Ospreys, Foulshaw Moss


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!
