It seemed to have all gone quiet on the Osprey front these last few days but one was seen flying over Lytchett Bay getting mobbed by gulls mid-morning and a Cuckoo was calling near Lytchett waterworks. On Upton Heath a Hobby was noteworthy and a decent number of House Martin mud gathering on a muddy pool was a welcome sight considering the very low numbers that have (or haven’t as the case may be) arrived back yet. Also on Upton Heath were 2 Buzzrad including one with what looked like a shot wing, 2 Whitethroat and 12 Stonechat including several newly fledged young. On Lytchett Fields, yet another Sanderling was present, and there were still plenty of Ringed Plover, several Grey Plover and c30 Dunlin.
