OSPREY SITING
On May 7th 1984 an Osprey was seen at
approximately 11.00 am near Little Leighs
(Grid reference 182709). It was perched on
a dead branch of an Oak tree, peering at some-
thing it was holding in its feet. In the evening
I returned and looked under the tree where
I found parts of a fish including a fin. The
bird was also seen on the reservoirs nearby.
