Just Missed It

An Osprey was seen this evening at Coate Water around 6:30pm. By the time I got there it was gone. However I did see a Common Tern and lots of Swallows, Sand Martins and House Martins. Also about a Goosander, 3 Grey Wagtails by the diving platform and a pair of Great Crested Grebes.
