Quiet lunch in MH hide today was rudely interrupted by an osprey flying over low in the direction of Noah’s. Confident that that was where it was heading, we set off expecting to find it perched up there in the usual stumps. Sadly, no further sign of it for the rest of the afternoon spent there. 100+ blackwits crossed Noah’s heading west, closely followed by 30-40 lapwing. Lots of greylag and a little Canada goose activity, 1 male pochard not yet in eclipse, Gwe and little egrets, flypast kingfisher and a couple of marsh harriers. No sign of hobbies, ibis or cattle egrets.
