  I know you meant 'Karen'. 

  No idea why but I often swap you two around, but usually I notice.

  Thank you, Sandra, and apologies to Karen - after all that work!

  Thanks everyone for kind comments and you're very welcome :-)

  Great news about Blue 055 who fledged from Manton Bay 2019 and returned to Rutland last year as  2yo.  Well, he has been spotted in Portugal so nice to know where he over winters.

  Not happy with Portugal - Beatrice overwintering in Spain perished when all the lakes froze over one winter.

  Do I remember correctly that she mis-judged the weather and caught the season slightly wrong?  So sad.

  I remember Beatrice well.  It was so sad.  From Roy Dennis' brief report.  I have a feeling the weather was foul for her migration and she moved on quickly from her usual stop-over because of the bad weather which had been sustained.

  "MARCH 25, 2016

  Information on the last days for Beatrice are on my blog. She died because she could not catch fish in the swollen rivers caused by a long period of heavy rain."

  Good morning all, another season has arrived. A big thank you to Karen for a splendid introduction to this nest. As per usual with me I struggle to get off the ground and before I change all my bookmarks etc can I ask is the webcam up and running? Thank you.
