Morning all
This will probably be our last Monthly New Thread, was hoping to have a Pic on the Nest , instead I will post an early Season capture.

If Lady does not return it would mean that she was no more. If there was such a thing as osprey retirement that is what I would wish for her, but they are ruled by instinct and while she is alive her instinct will kick in, so I hope she does return.
We all know she can't go on forever, but while she is still making the hazardous journey to Scotland she deserves to keep her nest whether successful or not.
If she does not return I will be very sad, but if she does I will be delighted!

Starling, I agree entirely with what you have said.
Starling- WELL SAID! and I agree completely.
Starling, well said.
STARLING - Thank You I agree with ALL you have said, only got limited wifi at the moment so you saved me typing out a long post with my exact same feelings on the subject :-)....

Well said - I think we all wish she could go on forever.
It is an awful thought that we may never see Lady again but at the same time I completely agree with what Keith has said. It has been nice to see her but very sad to watch her futilely incubating eggs that were never to hatch.

Limpy I think you read the situation as I do - If we all thought that Lady and all the old birds return for ever and ever then we would never have a succession of ospreys and there would not be 250 breeding pairs in Scotland.
I also reported that although I would like to see a new female on this nest I did also report that does not mean I wish any impairment of Lady and if she returns she returns.
So if this saves a recent poster typing a "Long Post" then time better spent reading Lewis Carroll.
May be best for "Lady" to spend the rest of her life in Africa??

My fantasy will be that she does, when the time comes.
On a mundane note - I haven't been able to get the cam on VLC for "some time" :-(
