Cleddau Osprey

A boat trip up the Cleddau today had as its highlight an Osprey. We found the bird on the Eastern Cleddau around Oxland Wood (SN0213), about one kilometer downstream of Slebech Park. On checking my ID at home, the bird is probably a immature (sorry, had said juvenile last night, but I meant a first-year+ bird, not an adult), with no obvious colour rings, but we did not get closer than about 50m. The bird seemed well settled, always returning to the same tree.

Other birds seen included 20+ Shelduck (no ducklings seen) and a female Sparrowhawk
