It is a huge privilege to start this new thread, especially after a day like yesterday.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank my mother, father, all ospreys worldwide and Tiger for drawing in his claws and stepping back.
I wish us all a less confused day of watching and attempting to interpret, and EJ and Odin the very best luck in the world in their defence of the most famous Osprey nest in the world.
Greetings all fellow 'midnighters'.
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.
Can somebody go to LG with something like a paintball gun & "shoot" all the ospreys please? With different colours of course. :-)
Apologies to everyone, especially Scylla and Moffer. I was interrupted while posting and hit the post button by mistake. Yes, this was the intruder from the same time last year and the Odin lookalike this year reminded me of him. I just wondered what others thought. Is it likely to be the same bird?

Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

Thank you dev. Yes it does look like the same bird.

Clare - I did say "something like" It's also quite impractical as the spray wouldn't carry far enough but it would be useful!

[/quote]Sorry, Moffer - what on earth was I thinking? I'm still hung over from yesterday's action!
Apologies, Maggie!
I suppose there could be some sort of inkjet printer set up on the camera post which could give a gentle mist. If I'm thinking strange thoughts like this already what will I be like by this evening?
