Rog /mal.
It would have been handy if Mal had text me as I've never seen an Osprey!
In regard to MSQ the four and a bit hours I spent there yesterday I virtually never saw a single woodland bird, it was hard to believe. Well done Rog! Wonder we didn't meet on BB this after... Did you see the smoke coming from B. Hale? Read my report and you will find out what I mean.
