This was one of my last posts on the very sad 2019 Season which is a summary of what happened.
All we can hope for is that the unringed female returns and also the male KR3 she was bonding with last season. There is still a little part of me that hopes to see the return of Green BF though.

Darren has posted a tribute to Green BF on the Balgavies Loch Facebook Page
The loss of both EJ and Green BF has been a blow this season. All we can hope for is a better season next year.
A lovely post by Darren and his wife.

Some wonderful photos of Green BF from Darren - Green BF was such a great provider, watched him bring in a good few fish.
Farewell dear Green BF, you did good son! the really sad thing is the not knowing what happened to him, we never get closure. One little part of me cannot let go so next year in the Balgavies hide I will be waiting for a miracle!

It is great to see all the threads already started by everyone for the various projects/nests, lets hope all our pairs arrive home safely and it is a good season for them all.

There is a white tailed eagle nest at Tentsmuir which is nearby, I suppose there could also be an osprey nest though I haven't heard of one. Ian

That’s interesting Ian, and there may just be a nest in Tentsmuir, although Darren regularly visits Morton Lochs and I think there would have been talk if there had been any nest in Tentsmuir.
Kind regards, Ann

You beat me to it, Catlady! I was probably reading Korky's post as you were posting here!
Edit: Apologies to Korky if you are a 'he' and not a 'she' as I had presumed--sorry!

Thanks for posting Ian that is great news indeed. I usually spend around 2 weeks in Fife every year but have yet to see a WTE, however last week I had 3 different sightings up in Wester Ross, it never ceases to amaze and thrill me when I see one soaring in the sky, they seem to glide so elegantly and really do have wings like barn doors
