BALGAVIES LOCH OSPREYS 2019

Hi Mary, welcome back as the main poster of this thread. Hope you enjoyed your holiday.

I was a bit worried for your silence, I know how Green BF is a special bird for you and could imagine your sadness after his disappearance. Hope Green BF is safe somewhere and is spotted soon.

Thank you very much Roberto, I am hoping and praying too that GREEN BF is OK and will be spotted before the end of the season.   

You are pretty lucky at seeing Ospreys Roberto, so I have everything crossed that you may come upon him when your are visiting here yourself.   

I found it very hard to take what happened on the nest, after seeing them both in April when everything was ticking along all so normally, it just shows that we can never take anything for-granted when following these wonderful birds.   

Oh... it would be fantastic if I could see Green BF again in person. But I'm not going to complain if I'm not that privileged and good news come from the many other watchers and photographers in the area instead, the sooner the better! I will spend few days of my Scotland trip in the sorroundings and I will keep my eyes peeled, no doubt.

Good Luck Roberto, I hope he appears just "For You"

Morning, Everyone. We have been acting as tour guides for friends from overseas for a couple of weeks so I have been unable to keep up with all of my usual threads so I am very grateful for the posts and photos from all of you--many thanks!
Welcome back, Mary. And thanks to Darren for continuing to let us see his photos!
Roberto, like Mary, I hope you see Green BF when you are on your holiday!
It is always tough to accept that Ospreys have soap opera lives. But it is lucky for them that they move on so readily and unlike we humans, they seem not to mourn much, if at all, when tragedy strikes. I hope Green BF is recovering somewhere and am grateful that at least one of the pair has returned safely. Hope BF17 and the new male return next year and that Green BF has his photo taken on another nest next year with a new partner. Fingers crossed that the Balgavies nest is successful next year.
