Sorry SK2. I will try to be more careful with my phrasing in future! I was just so pleased to see her - thanks to a tip-off phone call from a good friend who I met when I was volunteering at Lowes. She is still a volunteer there. We each ring up the other if we see an osprey on the nest, now that their visits to the nest are rather infrequent.
ENS at the moment.

Thank you Tiger - Brilliant news. I love it when ospreys are spotted and identified, gives hope that there are others still flying around somewhere.

Books re Lady:
Recently the question of books re Lady cropped up. I'm sure we all know of the book 'Lady of the Loch' by Helen Armitage.
However there was talk of others and I have now traced the author,Shirley A.Davies. They were produced for the SWT and sold at LOL. There were in fact three books, 'The Lady of the Loch', 'The Lady returns' and 'The New Kid on the Loch'.
Each of the books is a detailed account of the relevant season, the second and third being for the years 2011 and 2012. Both the first and second books are now out of print and the 2012 one is close to being so. I am amazed and delighted by the quality and feel it is a shame that more people cannot enjoy them but I understand that it would require an order of fifty copies to make a reprint viable. I'd go so far as to say they are on a par with both Roy's book and the Rutland one albeit they only deal with one season each. If anyone comes across a copy of any of these my advice would be grab it quick!
There is,by the way, no ISBN number for any of them.
