LOCH ARKAIG - AUGUST 2020 TO MARCH 2021. Highlights are Mary GK's and Geemeff's wonderful videos of the 2020 season

Wonderful pictures Mary. Ian

Aw it is always sad Mary, but it has been a fabulous year. These are beautiful pictures. The circle has already started, they are away to rest and recuperate, hopefully the lovely pair will return and then we will once again follow them as they prepare the nest, lay their eggs, raise their young and give us all the pleasure in watching them. Think of it as us having a wee holiday as well, from when they returned until they all left, that time flew by, the next 6 will hopefully be the same (although we should not wish time away) in our Osprey world can't help it!

The You Tube Channel will still be on until Monday (According to George at WT).

Wonderful pictures, Mary, mist/fog/whatever is always so photogenic--thanks. And thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread over the season. Agree with Catlady, too, hope that we and the Ospreys rest and recuperate and are fighting fit by the spring. I have a conflict between not wanting to wish my life away and yet wanting the next 6 months to fly by so the Ospreys will be with us again! Fingers crossed that the adults both return safely next year. I still remember Lonely Louie, but this pairing has done very well (once he found someone--lol!)

A final video from me, a time-lapse from this morning before the livestream switches off, another one in my Classic Ospreys series. Happy winter everyone, it's been a fantastic season this year, thanks for your company.

Looks as if Doddie may still be at Noah's lake

Cathy, thanks for the update. Ian

29th September: Looks like Doddie JJ6 has finally left Somerset - his last confirmed sighting at Noah's Lake in Avalon Marshes was on Friday 25th. Twitter messages to me yesterday say despite various birders / photographers searching for him, there's been no sighting of any Ospreys in the area since Friday.

Happy travels Doddie - you certainly provided us with some thrilling moments during your month in Somerset!

Aw, safe journey Doddie, fly safely and rest.
