Hi everyone.Well what a day we had on the 15th. Foogy start, six fish, and endless other dramas. Sound fairly windy at LG at the moment. I guess those chicks are learning about a Scottish "summer" at as early an age as possible. LOLPaul.
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
Tish said: Have just been watching lately as so busy and once on the comp can't get off. Loving the family but.....Please somebody tell me that they wish the chicks didn't have to be tagged. There must surely be enough statistics without all these ospreys flying about with transmitors on their backs every year. Beautiful birds with aerials!! I'll probably get shot down in flames now but that's my thoughts.

Brenda H - perhaps the nest is so crowded now she feels better there ... and it must be easier on her feet to stand on a stick like that, than flat on the nest!
Great to see you posting tish - everyone is entitled to express their opinion, and no-one should shoot you down in flames!! I can see the sense in both sides of the argument ... so will leave it to the people at LG to decide!

Sandy - I hadn't thought of that :-))
tish I also respect your view and have felt as you do. But as I said without a way to attract people's interest who will realize they need to fight for them.
Today because of interest in them people have fought to ban egg stealing in most countries.
The Sturgeon Farm where Rothes stayed on her migration was contacted and they said they would watch out for her. In the future because of Rothes and her tag other Osprey may stay there in safety.

Evening everyone. I've been watching but not posting lately, however couldn't help noticing that there is a chick with big feet making a lot of noise calling for daddy. Like mother like daughter?
