Newport

The Osprey was seen fishing in the estuary this afternoon (by two ladies here on holiday from Welshpool). After it caught a fish it was harried by gulls and flew off. I relocated it eating a fish in the top of an Oak tree towards Berry Hill farm.
Also present this afternoon along the river 7 red head Goosanders, 2 Greenshank, 1 Common Sandpiper, 1 Barwit and c25 small waders (disturbed by a dog before I could do a head/species count).
