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! :-)
OMG I can't believ it who took that pic. Bless you PLease let it be EJ and here we go again!!!!
Everything in life is speaking in spite of its apparent silence.
Well, looks like a very exciting day what with EJ?? sighting and the Daily Update up and running. Hurray! SO NICE to see old familiar names back on the blog. :-)
Caerann: Hope you finally got to sleep after all that spooky stuff.
Tiger: Jackdaws. Haven't heard that word for eons; now have to Google to figure out exactly what they look like.
Ginnie: Was it nighttime when the picture was pixilated - you can see the blue/red pixels. It tends to look better once the "color" kicks in.
Alan/Auntie: Thanks for info on MWSnap and FRAPS. And for LadyP's pizza joke. :-)
Maureen: Hurray! Would've hated you to have missed the live action - you were such a big fan last year. If that was EJ at 2:20 p.m. - you weren't far off anticipating her arrival. Haven't checked on Lily for a while. You copy the link when you have the site up - go to the http bit and select the entire line, then Copy and Paste to whereever you want. If anyone hasn't got it, it's http://www.pixcontroller.com/WebCam/BearDenWebCam.htm
Lindybird: Johnny Depp really seems to have found a niche in these fantasy films; I also liked him in Sweeney Todd. I've never taken to animated movies, but will make more of an effort (when we get our flat screen telly maybe?). My mini-skirts were more like tennis outfits - didn't bend over for several years. :-) Hope the new neighbors are nice; makes such a difference. Heard that housing prices in our area are beginning to move up.... Maureen/Lindybird: So we're agreed: Pizza is even less fattening if you don't slice it at all. Oh brilliant re smart sparrow; I comb my hair in the garden and toss it about wondering if it helps anyone with their nests.... OMG. Camouflage pants indeed - are we all giddy or what? :-) I'm slow this morning; missed Tiger's play on words until you pointed it out. Duh.
Cirrus: Fab shot from Estonia.
Sorry for long post on such an exciting morning! Now back to the cam and Daily Update!! Hallo everyone else I missed.
It was EJ though wasn't it? Remember that female osprey who was the last to leave LG last year and took a good liking to EJ's nest
Alan and I took a pic Tish . Isn't it wonderful! OF COURSE ABERNETHY WILL CONFIRM EJ. :) :)
Does everyone know where to find Daily Update? It's on the same page as Weekly Chat ---http://www.rspb.org.uk/community/groups/lochgartenospreys/default.aspx Just click on the latest post (in blue).
Tish: Yes, that was White TF or something ????
Thanks Cirrus you clever thing!! It is a miracle of navigation these birds are!!
Annette hope it wasn'r or we (the ospreys) could be having a real old barny!! How do you all get bold type for names??
You hold down CTRL and press B once Tish and then again to remove bold before you continue typing.
I am absolutely convinced it's EJ - she is far more beautiful than White TF and just more feminine looking, somehow. You'll see :)
Tiger has posted a bunch of photos of EJ taken last year on Daily Update for clueless folks like me to compare. :-)
You can also use Control, then "i" to get italics; do the same to go back to normal.
Cirrus - (I think it was you asking about navigating in a long thread) I usually post a message when I've finished reading and then the next time I go in I start at My Page and click on the link that says I posted something, et voila! you start where you finished. Otherwise I write the page number down, go to latest post and work back to that page.
Tish - if Annette hasn't just answered while I've been typing, you scroll over the words to highlight what you want in bold and press Ctrl + B. Do the same to take it off. Or you press Ctrl + B, type what you want to be bold, do it again when you reach the end of the bold words.
