There were 3 chicks at Manton Bay, but the smallest unfortunately died a few days ago.

Now, ANN and WILLOW, here is where we differ.. That may be the smartest action, and many choose just that path when things go sour. But it is just not in me to be able to do that. If that were the case, I would have left after I read about Wee Yin only a week or two after I found the LG cam. Or certainly almost immediately thereafter when Deshar, instead of crossing the Channel and heading south, followed the Channel and continued straight ahead west into the great Atlantic, then with no place to land, just flew & flew west until he could fly no more. In other words I never would have fallen victim to ospreyitis to start with. So now Loch Garten is my nest and I'm with it and EJ for better or worse,
11:00 pm I Scotland, so this must be the last of daylight.
