After the heavy rain this morning I went to Chatsworth mid-afternoon following the river from Beeley. There were the usual Mandarins along the river and 6 Goosander but as I stood in front of the House I picked up a large bird of prey some distance away but flying towards me from the Baslow direction.
It was an Osprey and presumably the same bird I had seen last week. It past over my head and continued towards Beeley. It was around 4pm so I presume it will be roosting somewhere along the river.
The only other birds of note were two Wigeon feeding with Mallard and Coot on the river bank.
