Post subject:  osprey and the rest
grainthorpe haven 12.00 - 14.20 hrs approx
2hrs plus of relaxing watching leaning on the sea wall not a soul to be seen apart from several farm workers harvesting and lots of good birds too.

osprey perched on the last warning sign from pyes hall dyke, the dark one that leans over.
the bird just sat preening and a short quick flight then back for further preening ( must have been a female ) all that time making itself pretty. If it had been a male a quick shave would due then off to the pub. Was still sat when i left at 14.20 hrs.
