Quick post while the wifi is available.
Presently on Red Kite touring site near the Clwydog reservoir. Fabulous sighting of an Osprey catching a nice trout for the family supper. Chicks have hatched, but wardens not sure how many at least 2 maybe three and two weeks old,
Red Kites in action over the A44 near the feeding station.
Finally approx. 10k Puffins have been feeding their Pufflings on Skomer and 4 pair of Short Eared Owls also in residence. What a great sight, Puffins landing at your feet to scurry into their burrows laden with sand eels.

Posted on 21/06/2017 18:21 by OneputtFantastic pics Blue. It's a great area isn't it. We just went a few weeks too early. Are you going to try and see the Dippers? Great campsite as well.

Hi OP
We are hoping to visit the forest before we leave on Sunday. I am pretty sure we went there last year and saw nothing as we were caught in torrential rain.
The Osprey was a fair way across the lake, so a lot of detail lost in the cropping, but an improvement on last years pics. First evening luck I have to admit, not seen much since. We take an evening trip most days hoping to strike lucky again, but most folk tell us we were extremely lucky to see a catch at all.

Great photos Bluemalaga of birds in action that most would not get to see myself included so thanks for sharing. Luck I guess does play a part of being in the right place & at the right time but knowing where that place may be is down to knowledge. Enjoy the rest of your time away.

Having just got back from Croatia, I feel a bit out of it. Good photos BM.
Bird life in Croatia was fairly quiet, one site in a coastal valley was full of singing Nightingales impossible to count, but must have been dozens.
Now have to get my head in gear and start to watch our wildlife.
