Fly Flats

From Fly Flats at 7 pm an Osprey came in towards the top end of Luddenden Dean (Castle Carr Estate) from Wainstalls area and landed in a dead tree. About 7.15 it circled around Dean Head top res'r probably looking for fish - without success, and landed in the top of a pine where it stayed until at least 8pm (nearly dark by then)
Also seen at a distance! by Nick and Roy.
The bird will probably roost overnight and assuming there are no large fish in Dean Head (?) then it will probably move off down the dean at first light? If anyone has a go for it in the morning then the best spot is probably down the dean, or from Fly Flats (from the Twite feeding area) take the track through the steel barriers (access is ok) and walk down the 200 meters or so to view Dean Head res'r and the woodland just beyond the res'r where it roosted.
