Osprey - took this on the patch last year, possible breeder, kept flying inland with fish...A late morning session with the kids in tow, produced my first osprey of the year, slightly late this year due to my being away at the start of the migration period. After lunch we searched around Älemossen, looking for a reported ring ouzel - no joy, this is a massive patch bogey bird for me and the cause of much heartache last spring. Let's hope that this spring is different... A small consolation came in the form of my first barn swallow this year.
A play on the beach at the end of the day was good for a few common and Arctic terns, the kids being bundled back into the car in blankets. They will not stay out of the sea.
