An unringed adult Osprey lingered over the sea between the end of Heysham Stage One and Stage Two outfalls from 8.35 am to 9.53 am when it was last seen flying off SW towards Rossall Point. During this time it made several half-hearted shallow dives, passing low over the water surface, but only plunged into the sea once and failed to catch anything.
