IN THE HUMAN BREAST HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL
In February we said goodbye to Millicent, EJ's 100th chick to fledge from the famous nest. We continue to watch Breagha, our only remaining tagged osprey juvenile.
In March we await the arrival of EJ and Oden, to start another family of fascinating bobbleheads.
Just wanted to say a huge thank you to all for your best wishes. I will canvas the wards and see how much support there is for 'Osprey Radio' at Addenbrooke's Hospital. There could be a niche that needs filling. I am sure Tiger could be persuaded to supply bulletins. :-)
See y'all in a couple of weeks, Insha'Allah.
Some people think Ospreys are a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.
What a great idea Cringer! LOL. Funnily enough I was in hospital visiting OH today who was having an op. Nothing too serious (gall bladder) and can imagine this "osprey Radio"! Im sure most people would be most captivated!
June such lovely cakes! Im sure Keith will not go hungry!
So this is what a young albatross looks like.
COUNTDOWN FOR LOCH GARTEN NEST
2 days till EJ'S RETURN on Wed March 25th @ 3;30 pm
8 days till ODIN'S RETURN on Wed March 31
This is my story and I'm sticking with it. :)
We all know that any countdown is just a guess. This countdown is my own "calculation" so it became my "official guess" on Tiger's prediction thread. On the final time count, my guess is #28 in a total of 57 -- which puts it pretty close to the exact center of the guessed times. The earliest has already come and gone. There are eight guesses for today at various times.
Earliest guess was Pica, March 31 at 15:17. Latest guess was Susan D Tues March 31 14:50. No one guessed into April for a date.
At this point all I can say is "The sooner the better"!
I just checked and the LG nest is still empty.
So while we wait for EJ an adorable cat from the Cincinnati Zoo, via Facebook.

ANSWER - ABSOLUTELY YES - Check this out.
Former USA Presidents Kennedy - Nixon and Clinton stayed here and they did not starve.
BUNRATTY CASTLE BANQUET
I have had to book for tomorrow night as the banquet is full both sessions tonight.
INTERESTING! On my way out - must run.
RUTLAND WATER have confirmed that four birds have now returned back home to the area.
03(97) - 5N(04) - 25(10) and 00(09).
These appear to be on time as compared to last season.
Many birds are starting to be late but may be upheld in bad weather over the continent as 30(05) is in Spain.
I suppose much matters on where they overwinter and which routing is taken and that we do not know.
