I'd love one, but I'm happy that these were ospreys, and particularly chuffed that my sighting of a dozen was an unusual treat. It struck me that way at the time.
Ospreys hadn't occurred to me because there aren't any large bodies of water nearby, though the Rivers Trent and Tame are only three or four miles away. There are any number of small pools in the area. However, the first time I saw these birds was last year, near Staunton Harold reservoir, a few miles from here, which I dare say makes more sense.
