The coast is suddenly full of juvenile Ospreys practising their diving techniques. The light was awful but I had a pleasant couple of hours watching them fail to land any fish……..

At least I got some nice angles…….

Other stuff around included a small flock of Red-necked Pharalope at Shikabe, a stray Pochard and Goldeneye at Kamiiso but not much else of any interest. From mid July birding does tend to grind to a halt.
Oh well, I hope the Ospreys master their technique before it’s too late. Surf makes a nice background, but hard to find fish in….
Wonder how many survive the winter?
