So 2014 has arrived and the new osprey season now starts the month after next. Or does it? The ospreys at Sanibel are already starting to nest and the wonders of the internet allow us to follow their fortunes.Then there is more than one expedition of people going out to west Africa to watch the ospreys in their winter quarters and forge links with the people out there. The Rutland team are off next Tuesday to continue their ongoing work out there. I see that Roy Dennis is going too. There are some other people going out in February. Thus before we know it , March will have arrived and speculation on when EJ will arrive will have begun.So what excitement will 2014 bring? Well if it is anything like 2013 then it will be amazing.
Well my big hope for 2014 is that Caledonia makes it back to Scotland and after nearly 11 years of watching I will have seen a Loch Garten bred chick definitely return. Of course one hopes that Blue YD makes it too.
Of course there will be a lot of pleasure and a lot of pain. But then what osprey season does not have that?

Look what began on 1st February 2013.

I remember the day well, Tiger, and I was very pleased for Karen. Limpy was convinced Odin wasn't coming back........I'm so pleased he was wrong.
I imagine we won't get a text message warning of EJ's impending arrival two years running!
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

Now who won the Odin guessing game? :)
You can't tell me you've forgotten that, Tiger!
Had he arrived a few days later it would have been Limpy.
There is a new Blog from Mike.
Oh my, I'm having problems in getting on to the various threads at present. I end up with the title and a blank page. Here by trial and error.
Clare Thanks for the heads up on Mike's latest blog. It sounds as though Breagha is as settled as we might hope for, with crossed fingers!
I have just found this wonderful video taken at Rothiemurchus, and as far as I can tell includes amongst others, Blue DF(10)who intruded at LG last year. It is quiet mesmerising. Just sit back and enjoy!
