Hi all,
I've been sitting at my work from home desk today, absentmindedly watching a bird that's been perched on one of the Dilboy Stadium (Somerville) light fixtures for over an hour. It clearly ate a meal as it was making those telltale body movements. I assumed it was a hawk but as time went on and I began to pay more attention, something about it caused me to investigate further.
Turns out it's an osprey! I've lived adjacent to Dilboy Stadium since 2014 so I've seen all manner of birds perched on those lights. Many hawks, falcons, eagles (I think it was a favorite spot of MK,) and any number of other kinds of birds. But never an osprey!!
It's still there as of my typing this message. I want to keep watching, but I do have to hunker down and get some work done.
