Garden birds at Guineaport this afternoon included 1 Osprey at 1645hrs which hovered over Treraven meadows and made several dives in to the river. If this is the same bird that I saw previously I would think it is unusual for a bird on Spring passage to hang around so long? Also 2 Chiffchaff, 4 Goldfinch, 3 Grenfinch, several Sand Martins and 1Swallow, Sparrowhawk and Buzzard.

A quite noticeable number of Chiffchaff's along Egloshayle Road yesterday and this morning all moving east through house front gardens. This evening there were several moving upriver alongside rugby pitch and then adjacent to Clapper pools.
