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.

Hi Richard and Ann. The picture has been very cleverly photoshopped by Darren so that the ring reads 'NHS' to honour the amazing staff (hence the rainbow too)
Thanks, Sandra--doh! Very clever of Darren! My mind seems lost in space--sorry!
Edit: Looks like the forum is doing its job for me--totally blanking out the current condition of the world!

Ha ha! Had me fooled. But that doesn't take much.
I know Darren changed it, but I was commenting that as there is a NH3 there will probably be a NH5 and that NH5 would look a lot like NHS
