We're up!
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
I emailed him couple of weeks ago re Yorkshire Dales Kestrel cam & haven't had reply yet ... Maybe he's been poking about in confined spaces in old stone Barn walls! Lol

Looks like the sun is breaking now. Wonder when we will get a blog.
EJ's Memorial Balgavies Loch Ospreys 2023
Scylla I thought you may like to read this newsletter I received from Grantown on Spey caravan park. Maybe it will give us a little hope, we can dream! I know Loch Garten is a good few miles from G.O.S. and maybe it is not possible for it to happen at LG, but thought you would like to read out of interest.
A six-figure sum :O :O :O Yes, we can dream.
My close-brackets isn't working most of the time so I can't do smilies unless I've got loads of time to bash-bash-bash ad infinitum.

Yes this is a tongue in cheek comment :D :D EJ is worth some of the 99 million from their coffers :-) Hope I don't get banned LOL...
Don't really want to start a debate on this :-) as we all know the difficulties involved in the logistics, but where there is a will there is a way... lots of other centres have overcome surmountable difficulties to show off their Ospreys in all their glory. EJ is my first love and she deserves better. That's it enough said LOL...
Not long ago...

There is another link on that page that is also best not commented on here!
Birdies LG DU update.
Yes, good for a laugh, MIKE.
To be honest I can still remember the camera quality back in 2012, when Limpy and I started watching. It was so terrible that when the eggs started to hatch I couldn't make out the chicks - all I could make out was a blur whenever EJ fed one. Fast forward to 2015 and we had moved on to a situation where we not only had a much clearer picture of the nest (though still not perfect) but we also had someone moving the camera to wherever the birds happened to be. This live stream is not perfect but it has improved so much in the last few years.
