Had great views of an otter today on the moors pool around half one aswell as a brief visit from a kingfisher.

A picture and video of the otter from today aswell as pictures of the kingfisher on my flickr because for some reason I was unable to upload them on here. Link below.

i think that the technology has moved on so much that the files are just too big, i have the same problem and thus put them on flickr. also there is a dedicated flickr page for upton you can upload to.

A few record shots of the Osprey [?] from yesterday afternoon at the Moors. Thanks to Richard and Trevor for correcting an earlier mis-identification of the bird by another occupant of the hide as seen in real time when concentrating on getting the photos. Maybe we could not quite bring ourselves to believe it was actually an Osprey. Anyway it was present in front of the Moors west hides between approximately 16.45 and 17.00 before flying off in a south-easterly direction. These photos taken from the concrete hide with what was the poorer view as anybody in the top floor of the other hide would have had an even better view. Nothing much else going on at the time so the surprise visit of an Osprey - what can I say.
Absolute confirmation of ID and M or F would be good if someone would be kind enough. Thanks.

Yes I do believe that was the problem, the files were too big. Thank you for informing me about the page on Flickr but I do believe it is an invite only page.

Is this a female redstart that was on the track towards the west hide ? I finally figured out how to reduce the size of the image.
