And so we begin another month. Osprey season is in full swing, with lots of action everywhere. ENJOY!
Am not sure sure if I could give up entirely, as you said earlier, many friends on here, as well as memories. Time will tell, will let you know of the outcome of my visit tomorrow. Things can only get better...
Thanks Dido, it has been good visiting with you. Hope to hear from you again soon. Give everybody at LG my love and sympathies.
DIDO - Hi my friend. I share one of those memories with you and you cried then.
Dont get too disheartened and stop following the lives of ospreys.
This is only a set back and the LG nest will bounce back.
As one era finishes another begins.
Keith, so nice to hear from you. The day you saw me cry was a most memorable day, but don't think i was the only one with tears that day.
Ospreys have always been part of my life, don't think I can give it up too easily, despite the heartache and pain.
Visiting LG tomorrow, then Loch of the Lowes on way home on Sunday. Hope you and Susan are doing well, maybe meet at a nest sometime soon....
Good evening all.A very sad day for Loch Garten. Am devastated :(.I know its nature red in tooth and claw, just very upset now, but as you say, a new era begins :( A lot of heart ache indeed and most unexpected in my view! Just goes to show things can change> and I have to admit I never even thought wed lose our very dear Odin in this country after many years migrating!
So right you are Willow. It is sad to lose any of our osprey, even sadder to lose a favorite, but Odin is more than that. He is a vry very special osprey and with him an era ends or a chapter is closed.
Yes the nest will continue, but with what results? Very devastating! :(
Don't know what to think,I just hope that he was not injured and left suffering somewhere :( I worry for EJ and her welfare! It shows how viscious ospreys can be as I can only imagine he has been mortally wounded in a fight defending his lady and nest. Wasn't it strange he returned home in the early hours when it was still dark? So very upset more so than I have when others were lost.
I understand Willow, I feel the same way. I wonder if we will ever know what happened to him.
OR it probably will never happen what if he showed up again.
Sometimes I wonder if he was just chased away and never returned, but id find it hard to believe hed not keep fighting if he was able to, but we learn something different about them all time. Never predictable!
True, Willow. He was last seen flying away, right? It is hard to imagine that Odin would just give up and go away e en in these unfavorable circumstances, but as you say they are very unpredictable.
Such a possibility had not even occurred to me. I imagined him weakened by his first injury then defeated - killed or lying sick and further injured somewhere. Will we ever know? Do we really want to know? Unless of course it is a very positive outcome.
