Will EJ return this week? What if another female tries to claim the nest? Will super-Odin return to fish another year? Or will EJ take another mate (she'd better not!!) Will YOU be the lucky blogger to catch the first glimpse of an osprey at LG? Tune in to the Loch Garten LIVE webcam for the first installment of Loch Garten Ospreys - 2010!!
Seriously, lots of interesting chat on the last page or two of the previous week's chatter. Catch up now because you won't have time once the ospreys are back in town! :-)
Amid all the osprey excitement, some peregrine news - at Chichester, first egg on a public British nest? http://www.chichesterperegrines.co.uk/blog.htm
Nothing on the RSPB site yet - Chichester is in the "Date with Nature" programme - but for those down south I found this on the Cathedral site: http://www.chichestercathedral.org.uk/dyn/pages/whats-on/10th-anniversary-of-the-cathedral-peregrines.shtml
Though they refer to a webcam, they may not mean that - last year it was just closed circuit TV on a screen in the cloisters.
There is now a new Blog from Alice, if no-one has mentioned it already.
Thanks Lindybird. I completely forgot all about it. It has been an exciting day.
Well, I was wrong about Molly the Barn Owl – apparently she didn’t kill chick#1 and no eggs went missing – she definitely has one (now growing fast) chick and four eggs – this one will have a big advantage over his/her siblings!
So good to know Marge has arrived for another season – good luck to her at LotL.
Annette – you asked for pics of EJ and Odin last year: most of mine are the three girls, but best way to see them all interacting is to look at these videos - http://www.cuparduncans.talktalk.net/osprey.htm
Two separate hours in garden this afternoon, then out for another “Texas Steak Night” – didn’t enjoy it so much – we think we are getting too accustomed to eating out. Wish someone else would prepare meals for us here so we don’t come in from garden and have to cook!
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
Help! I can't get into this site by the normal route - fortunately had it in favourites so got in that way. But posts keep disappearing into the ether! Anyone got any idea what's wrong? Also, I can't remember the Truckercam address and there seem to be several. Hopeless, or what!
There is something strange going on, as now the Osprey group are not listed under the Groups heading, nor are a lot of the other groups. Got here by going to My Page & following my own links to this Forum.
Truckercam is on at : http://www.bigrigtruckcam.com/
Hope that helps.
Patriciat and Lindybird - I’m also having to enter by My Page – they have put lots of new Groups on today and apparently we have been pushed off the bottom! We’re not even on the list of groups if you click on “Reserves” in “Browse Groups”under the "Groups" tab, so how can new people join us?! And how will we find our new weekly chat???!!! - Just noticed, "Reserves" is an alphabetical list from A to E. I would expect a “…next” but there isn’t one – maybe they are part way through setting it up. We aren’t even in “Browse Forums” under the “Forums” tab!
Patriciat - Trucker Video compilations are at http://bigrigtravels.net/druvideos.html and his blog is on a link from the bottom of the live cam page which Lindybird gave.
I had to come in via My Page too. Funny, that. I'm sure I came in normally earlier this morning.
Smiles, Jan.
Caerann has tried to find us! She had posted on KatTai's thread re losing groups! I have put a note there to tell her she can get here via her page - hope she finds us!
