OK I'll start this off. Czech Republic jays and a red squirrel.

    See you next year? ‍ ‍

    Well yes, indeed, I hope we do see each other, not just next year, but this year too. 

    I hope we'll all get some comfort from our friendly banter on these threads, and are sustained too by viewing our lovely ospreys. With thanks and prayers for you all, and for the folk in the Woodland Trust, RSPB, Wildlife Trusts, Dyfi, Glaslyn etc etc, who work so hard to provide us with moments of joy, and sometimes a little heartbreak along the way.

  • I am more than sure we will meet up again, on our beloved Osprey threads Korky, and others no doubt, but the Osps will win me thinks!!

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

  • Thanks, All, for snaps and posts. So here is just what we may or may not need more of--yet another webcam! Apologies to anyone who may have posted this link earlier (I have not had time to catch up on over 500 notifications, about 200 have arrived since the start of the lock downs/stay at home orders, many dozens today alone, so no hope of catching up!). Perhaps I should not have commented on or clicked on 'turn notifications on' for soooo many threads! Have a look at Cornell labs Barred Owl nestcam somewhere in Indiana:

    Edit: Apologies--I posted before I read the last week of posts--hadn't realised the thread was closed.  Mea culpa, please forgive me!

    Kind regards, Ann

    ==========================================================

    Just been watching SWF eagles, Korky, E15 is such a strong baby. The split in E16's egg has happened very quickly, there was only a tiny pip in the shell this afternoon :)

  • Sorry, I just had to post this fantastic news!

    At last! After a mammoth 59 hours (2 days, 11 hours, 42 minutes and 26 seconds - as worked out by a Mod), E16 finally hatched! Slight smile

    Sandra, yes wonderful news! I just watched the first feeding.

  • Amazing chick managed to make it out alive after all that time ... do hope that sibling rivalry isn't too aggressive!
