Osprey

Boultham Mere
Flew in at 9.15am, fished for fifteen mintues and flew around with male Marsh Harrier, eventually caught a small fish and flew off towards the bypass, present for some twenty minutes.
It has a white ring with possibly a N8 lettering,the white ring though from what i have been told means it was ringed in the same area?? as the bird last year, more info to follow.

A Stunning place, well worth the day out with a decent cafe selling decent food at a good price, the sunday dinner is large and good value for money.
Old Moor is just over an hour from Lincoln, with a good walk and different areas to search and several well placed hides overlooking scrapes.

The only one i have seen in the county was way back in 1987 at Covenham res, seen a few in Britian and loads in europe but they are more special when on your door step, a good find by Kieth Warner.
