Loch of the Lowes - 2010

  • On the LOTL blog, some intruder on the nest. Alison did a video of it.

    If nothing goes right, go left! :-)

  • Hi Lynette.

    Heck, cam has gone off now.

    If nothing goes right, go left! :-)

  • If nothing goes right, go left! :-)

  • I am going now.

    I hope someone will report if there is a fish delivery :-)

    Bye.

    If nothing goes right, go left! :-)

  • Looks as though an intruder is about, chick lying low in the nest.

  • I don't know whether you are all aware but on the main SWT blog there are odes to the chicks, The Blog, and The Branch, by different folk.   Amusing and moving is what you could say.

  • Lynette and Sandra thanks for the pics will say goodbye myself now as I really had better do something about OH's dinner, can't say I feel very hungry myself.  Might get back on later depends how I feel.

  • ONE DAY SOON

    One day soon… we’ll be alone on this sweet Loch of Lowes,
    For Mum and Dad will have flown on, they knew just when to go.

    One day soon… we’ll feel the pull of places we don’t know.
    I’ll leave you then, tho unsure why… someplace where we must grow.

    One day soon… you’ll call to me, but you won’t find me near.
    But don’t despair, my bonny chum, you’ll follow soon…no fear!

    One day soon… we’ll all be yonder, in a land of ease,
    And mayhap we’ll share a nest, or maybe just a tree.

    One day soon… the lure of home will wing us back o’er pines,
    We’ll all be back in Scotland, where we’ll begin new lines!

    One day soon… our Mum and Dad will look up from our nest—
    They’ll call to us a welcome home, to where we love the best!

    One day soon…it may be clear, tho paths divergent go,
    We always had the best of times on lovely Loch of Lowes!

  • Ode to the blog

    You call me the blog it’s not very flattering
    From around the world you gather here chattering
    You all talk about a family so dear
    That is really not to far from me here
    So many replies from the osprey team
    Who are all just the absolute cream
    You push your button’s and I respond
    Even as far as from over the pond
    So many questions have been carefully typed
    Photo’s and clips are becoming the hype
    I am scrolled up and down getting giddy
    Your cursor submitting another ditty
    I have only the one request to log
    Why oh why was I called the blog

    This was by  jan from the main SWT blog - thought it quite amusing.
