I went to a site last week where up to 20 osprey have been seen. I saw 6 and they were too far away for a good photo.
I then went round to the bird hide and met a local bird watcher. He pointed to where two Curlew Sandpipers were feeding with Dunlin. I walked out to within about 20 feet of the birds and they carried on feeding but kept a watch on me.

Today was warm and sunny so I had a walk by the river. On a bed of Michaelmas Daisies were Comma, Red Admiral, Painted Lady and Speckled Wood butterflies. Not far away were Peacock and Small White. On my way back I saw some Bullfinches.
