Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Good morning. 2 days away and they are already moving around !
Sorry I posted my 2 photos on the wrong thread and now it won't delete, apologies.

This is worth reading in depth and really digs deep in the psyche.
People will no doubt shed a few tears at it.

It would be good. Too late for 2016. Today is traditionally the last day of the year for osprey eggs. Maybe fitting that the egg that produced Clarach was laid on 22 May 2013 and promptly attacked by a crow. You know those black things?

[/quote]It was a wonderful read. It also makes me realise how lucky we are to still have EJ, hatched in the same year.
It has just occurred to me that if EJ had siblings the smallest might have been one of the translocated chicks! Is it known which Scottish nests the original birds came from?

Well I presume that Roy Dennis knows but he tends to keep that info to himself.
We do know that Green J has provided quite a few chicks to Rutland, Andalucia an Urdaibai.
