You need to be wary if parking on Tritton Road as there are restrictions in place nowadays

This afternoon Sunday -
The osprey dropped in around 15:30 and took a good sized fish. It was flying off just as I arrived - eventually to the north

Also a hobby at the same time
The kingfisher was showing prominately
Plenty of mallard, a few gadwall and one or two shoveler
A jay, mistle thrush and plenty of swallows as I walked through from Hartsholme
Very murky
