The farm is also home to blue-winged teals, coots, grebes, and an occasional osprey or peregrine falcon. |
At the top of the tree, a huge osprey nest that should have been full of life lay empty and deserted. |
Calendar buyers will learn that it is the third time in 150 years that wild osprey have nested and reared young at Bassenthwaite Lake. |
An osprey flying past with a fish in its talons was another bonus while a dusky flycatcher hawked insects from various perches around the garden. |
For example, blue-footed booby and osprey nestlings fought more when hungry, but great egrets, blue herons and swallow-tailed kites did not. |
She eased below with the big dip net and, with the sudden strike of an osprey, scooped the fish amid a pummel of spray and gravel. |
