Osprey - SCP

Early on, a stubborn bank of fog hanging over the sea to the west seemed to be blocking any sea birds, though some scoter got through. And one bonxie was hanging around a fishing vessel. Other stuff was trying to get through: a common sandpiper made it to shore. A willow warbler too landed briefly right next to me. Firecrest heard singing. Late morning I ascended the nearby ridge, sat down in the welcome sunshine and watched some hirundines trickling through. Did the classic about to leave and an Osprey arrives in off, circled right in front of me, and then departed the area in a northerly direction.
