Ospreys & Ortolan

As I haven't had much luck with the Pagham/Medmerry Ospreys I went over to Thorney today as BC had reported a few. Luckily three were on show, two on the fence posts and one in the air, then all three in the air at once. (Pity about the grump birder there.) 

Afterwards went to look for ARK's Ortolan Bunting on the SDW just up from Kithurst but no sign alas, hopefully a twitchable one might turn up though seem to be quite a few around this year.
