Osprey at VP, plus a few other things

With the prospect of a holy uneventful day with forecast heavy rain a trip to VP seemed the most logical thing to do!!! At least there was the ability to stay out of the rain for the most part. It was a bit like watching a jelly set but that was soon altered with the first bird of the day being a juvenile Peregrine as it zoomed through going to the North. It seemed as if the Kingfishers had abandoned VP until today when a very obliging youngun stopped for a few pictures.

On approach.

An obliging young Kingfisher, put in an appearance.

Posed for several minutes as it worked what the noise was.

Very Inquisitive.

An unknown species , unless you know?

A Goldspot Moth.

The last two are again from my foray into, what know resembles my back garden!

So even with the torrential rain, the day produced some nice birds. Not withstanding an Osprey going through VP at 15:45. Well exciting, indeed could even be back in the morning, or rather later today!!

Cheers, Paul.
