Osprey

I enclose a few of my favourite photos of the Osprey 3AY (white writing on a blue ring on the right leg) which has been visiting a site called Frank’s Pit, near Bainton Pits, and just north of Helpston, Cambs in the last week and a half or so. I have been told that the bird was ringed by Lloyd Park and Tim Mackrill at a private site in Rutland in July 2019 and had not been reported since leaving the site that year.' MW
