The roller coaster ride has officially started with the return of this most Beautiful bird:
Welcome home, EJ!
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Many thanks to Everyone for all the beautiful captures! I'm thrilled to bits to see that EJ and Maya have both returned (as well as Lassie at LOTL)! Such a relief after the sad demise of Beatrice and Blue XD. Fingers crossed for the safe return of all our other lovely Ospreys!
Kind regards, Ann
Having a feed now.

And she even had the kindness to arrive when I have a day Off. What a bird!

Hi Heron, Birdie and all.

Just put my pc on and looked at the nest sight and lo and behold EJ appears to be back, so when did this happen? Was it yesterday or early this morning. WOW
