I would like to wait for an announcement from the Centre before discontinuing the DUs - besides, we need a place to mutually commiserate during the withdrawal period, and where better? ;-)
While preparing this post I have been thinking of Moffer - it's crashed 3 different browsers >:(

Now:
It's been raining - I could see raindrops dripping down in the top-right corner.

Oops, sorry Nannascot just accidentally marked your post as spam. I wish they would change the way that works so it's harder to do in error!
Very well put Sheila. I too feel a bit emotional, hence the lack of posts today.
I will miss you all.

Scylla was tempted to close this thread earlier today but was,quite rightly, waiting for confirmation from LG.
I think we would all agree that Scylla, AKA Mission Control !, should be given the task of doing that when she awakes from her slumbers to find the definitive post.
Many thanks to all those who have maintained a watch and contributed to this thread and to the camera team at LG.
We still have sites to watch but the days roll by so we must make the most of them.
Best wishes to you all.
Birdies LG DU update.
Bon Voyage EJ and Odin. I am glad they are gone before bad weather forces their wings. May they find plenty of fish and safe havens on their way. :-*
Thank you all for a brilliant season despite lack of chicks. And thank you to Sheila and Limpy for being brave enough to try and name all of the personalities on this forum who have kept me from suffering ospreyitis loneliness.) The vigilant VC cam team allowed us very special views into osprey habits we may not have seen otherwise.
Starting the special threads for individual birds was genius. I'll be trawling through to see favorite shots of my favorite birds throughout the cold season, anticipating their return in the spring, doing some artwork from my favorite pics. :))

I have had to come to the library to sign in!!! Something happened to my router during a storm on Saturday!!!! I just wanted to add my thanks to all who have shared their thoughts, observations and photos this season - my first to actaually contribute - although not much so far. I will miss our birds and reading the posts from you all. Roll on next season.
Just to say bye to the gorgeous EJ, and the oh so handsome Odin, fly safe you are both so precious, I haven't posted much, this year but have still been here reading all about them, sad no chicks this year, but hopefully EJ and Odin will be very strong and healthy for their journey,with out a family to have looked after
Vert special thanks to everybody who has kept a careful watch, and made the reports, and to Sheila for her brilliant post above, which sums up everything
Hope to see you all next year x
The more you rush, the longer it takes
It's only this season that your talent and rigour dawned on me, SHEILA :-* Next season I'd like us to gang up and kidnap you from beans-and-cherries duties so you can devote yourself to LG. But hey-ho, you've got a life ;-)

But he hasn't been here for a while, I do hope he is continuing to recover. Another I miss is OLDSHOREMORE.

I'm the same and can't let go.

And you'll be sure to share them here, won't you, CC? :-*

Many many thanks from a champion lurker who has scarcely missed a post or pic from all you dedicated Osprey peeps ... Fly safe dear EJ & Odin, our thought are with you! Now mind you both come back next Spring & make babies for us to ooooh & aaaaah over (never mind the angst)
