Loch Garten GABFEST in hibernation for Sept, Oct, Nov, and Dec, 2016

ANY "

                                "AND THEN THERE WERE NONE" 

   True, so sadly true.  EJ, Odin, Rowan and Willow have all departed on their migrations, leaving the Loch Garten nest empty.  With none of these four tagged, and with the Visiting Centre closing on September 4th,  the 2016 osprey season is ended at Loch Garten.  With winter and frozen rivers and lochs quickly approaching Scotland, many of the ospreys we follow also have migrated and the remaining few soon will follow.

   As this is a Loch Garten Osprey thread and we can not expect any further activity until Spring, 2017, I am now putting The Gabfest into hibernation for the remainder of 2016.

   HOWEVER, If any one just wants to chat, we will be here.  Any personal news - Willow, any winter garden activity, news of the neighbors sheep or of trains, for example.  And Keith, we are always interested in your comings and goings. Any news of wildlife, pretty pictures of birds or flowers to brighten the winter days.  Maybe some music to cheer us up as the evenings get long and dark, As Christmas approaches Carols are always appreciated.  And of course if anyone has news of ANY ospreys, especially the UK ospreys we have been following. we will be here.  We might be buried in hibernation on page 2 or 3 but THE GABFEST WILL BE HERE.
