Hello
Despite the super weather today and the particularly warm afternoon it didn't provide any new bird species for us locally and with no new birds to add to the growing April 'from the garden' list!
Plenty of large insects on the wing today with multiple butterfly sightings and lots of bees. The frog tadpoles have wriggled free of their egg membrane and are swimming around in our garden ponds.
Perhaps the most unexpected sighting was an Osprey perched on a roadside telegraph pole between Pitsford Reservoir and Brixworth this morning, complete with fish! The road was ridiculously busy with traffic to the point where I couldn't safely stop where I wanted to take a couple of photos. The blue darvic ring on it's leg denotes it is a bird known to the Rutland Water Osprey Scheme.
Regards
Neil M
