Osprey - Cleddau

With up to six Ospreys in Ceredigion earlier this week a look for this species around the Cleddau today seemed in order. Sure enough from Landshipping Quay around 12:30 I saw an Osprey fishing over at Sprinkle Pill causing quite a fuss amongst the gulls and other birds over there, including 7 Greylag Geese which flew around and landed in a field close to the Pill. I wonder if there are more Ospreys tucked away in the huge Cleddau river complex, or how many have slipped through the county unseen?
At Landshipping Quay itself 21 Redshank, 30 Teal and a steady trickle of Swallows passing through.



At 13:50 the Osprey carrying a fish from Picton towards Sprinkle Pill.
