Osprey

Good views of the Osprey on the Eastern Cleddau at 9am this morning, seen from Minwear view on the south bank, it flew from further upstream down past the view to Slebech Park and beyond when lost to view. Also a Green Sandpiper here (2 on Weds). A surprise was a White-fronted Goose (of unknown origin) flying in from the West with 2 Greylags, they went down behind trees in a field about 4oom east of Slebech Park. A search there afterwards only found a single Canada Goose (this is presumably the same area Richard had 30 Greylags on Thursday). Late morning a fruitless search for the Hoopoe & Ring Ouzel that Mike Y-P had on St. David's Head earlier. Several Blackcaps, Willow Warblers, Chiffchaffs & Wheatears here, with Sand Martins trickling through and the odd Swallow. At least 2 pairs of Stonechats seen.
