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?

Nope. Still having intermittent probs. I'll go and have a coffee, and cool down!
I shall be meeting with David Anderson on Tuesday where a topic for talk is Raptor Conservation Using New Technologies.
If any one has any reasonable questions they would like me to present to him let me know by PM.
I know this is a topic that interests many on these forums and regardless of any views I may have will be impartial in presenting David any question on behalf of any blogger.
David is a very well known ringer and conservationist of ospreys around the central region. He is mentioned in Life of Ospreys having sighted Green SK around the Aberfoyle area some four years after she disappeared.
Thanks for that beautiful video Shiela, fantastic! I certainly did enjoy! Hope you sort your problems out soon! I got a blank page when I tried to read thread on Satelite Tracking!
Thank you for the offer to anyone wanting questions to be presented to David Anderson. Not particularly a question, as a raptor conservation talk, but wondering if technology has developed to enable much,much smaller trackers to be used. If so would they ever be used on our " super migrators" my favorite, swallows! Or do they travel too far? ( I hope they never do this with swallows!) Thank you Keith. Enjoy your talk,sounds really interesting and am jealous!!

Willow. I guess you went in by clicking on Last Post as I did. If you go to the title of the thread it will open. You then click on the double arrow to the right of the page numbers and Keith's post will appear. Clearly a hiccup.
The News from Other Nest page is doing the same.
Birdies LG DU update.
This thread is ok for me by clicking on last post, but the News from other Nests thread is still getting a blank page when clicking on last page, so that is one thread that still needs to be sorted. No big problem really as we can still get to it in the usual way as been described before.
SHEILA - Thank you for posting that video taken at Rothiemurchus, it was super with lots of great photos!
For anyone in the Scottish Central Region interested into going to David Anderson's talk on Raptor Conservation, the details are HERE. Scroll down the page to Feb 4.
