I'll let some of my favorite cartoon characters transition us from summer to autumn and into the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons.
As the 2017 osprey Season closes at Loch Garten, I am wishing for a better one come 2018.
Good evening. Garden birder I saw yesterday morning a pile of what looked like wood pigeon feathers so I think the sparrow hawk had him! I have seen a couple of times a sparrow hawk taking a wood pigeon which is amazing given the size of them!
Evening, Willow. Yes, I imagine that the Sparrow Hawk which took the Wood Pigeon was a female, much bigger than a male Sprawk.
Kind regards, Ann
June thank you for posting the pics unfortunately I don't have Facebook! I don't know why I have twitter but don't use it as i seem to keep getting endless password problems! I think it can be a good source of information.
I know you don't have Facebook, Willow and I had intended to post a rainy day picture here for you. Will do so now.
The gloomier the day (or just my feelings) the brighter are the colors I wear. I keep a generous supply of brightly colored umbrellas on hand to help me face rainy days with a song in my heart.
Oh and this too for all the rainy days you have in the UK.
Loving the idea of the lovely coloured brollies and clothes, on a wet, horrid day.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Whoop whoop so it may be, but I just got my letter from RSPB accepting me to be a residential volunteer again next year at LG. 30th June for a week Soooo excited now ! Started my count down already I just hope EJ is back and this time I get to see some healthy chicks. Was so sad when she disappeared on my watch this year. Big prayers being said for her.
Gilli
Well done and good luck for the season.
Birdies LG DU update.
Hello everyone,
just a quick sign from me that I'm still safe and sound. In the near future I'll have even less spare time to join you than before: On November 6th my / our little son was born. His name is Karl and on November 6th his weight was 2880g and he was 51 cm long. We are very happy, and I hope you are all well yourselves. Kind regards from Germany!
How exciting Gilli. I was on holiday in the LG area this year in June and went 3 days to the centre, nothing on the Sunday a quick visit on Wednesday but on the Friday a 40 minute visit of preening, watching and generally posing, look at me! It was so exciting to see the girl herself for the first time, very sad there was no Odin or chicks to see this year but who knows what next year will bring, enjoy.
Hello again Bente and many congratulations to you both on the birth of little Karl. How wonderful and exciting. All go now with the feeding, sleeping, washing etc! Hope he is doing well and that you are both getting some sleep!
