LOCH GARTEN June 2022

All quiet on the Osprey front. Mistle started gently food soliciting, then quiet, then stood up to reveal.........

,, what appeared to be a half eaten rainbow trout! No doubt Scylla will be able to get a much sharper image than me. All this happened about 5:45.  It was as stiff as a board. When was that delivered?

Afrer faffing around getting images 1 of them has come back to the nest and is incubating - can't tell which. 

Some people think Ospreys are a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.

    Home again sipping my Campari To-Kill-Ya and reading another lovely email from Alan Poole. He is thinking of coming back to the UK next year and giving a few talks and will let me know his itinerary - but he IS doing a live presenation from across the pond this Thursday 16th June re: the Poole Harbour success story. Its a free online talk @ 7pm - see www.facebook.com/.../ - although it is free you need to book a ticket online.

    Mistle was gone but just returned with a twiggy stick.
    Heading off to lunch. SYAL.

    @CRinger...how is the Campari To-Kill-Ya? I'm waiting until a decent time to have mine.

    There was a fish @ 19:01 but another at 19:40 - it was the 19:40 that I amsure was whole - and alive - and kicking! Take care with live fish Axel fllapping about the nest when the chicks are so young.

    Again, perhaps more evidence that Axel has not bred before.

    An excerpt from live chat. No-one appears to have got my joke:

    :40 PM
    Andy Simkins
    ​Was that a live fish?

    7:42 PM
    ​New fish at 19.38

    7:43 PM
    it was once

    7:43 PM
    ​Small anfd flapping

    7:44 PM
    Andy Simkins
    ​It was when it reached the nest! Take care Axel! No more fish flapping and landing on chicks when they are this small.

    7:45 PM
    Andy Simkins
    ​I'm actually 5' 10'' but admit to flapping when I saw that fish!

    The jury is out on the Campari To-Kill-Ya. I think it might give you hallucinations about flapping fish. I am waiting for scylla to capture a video which will either confirm the flapping = I will have another, or for her to confirm hallucinations in which case I better go to bed.

    Being serious - the best Campari cocktail I have tried to date. But there's about 7 more I need to try (hic).

    The Boulevardier cocktail has caught my eye - Campari, Vermouth and Bourbon. No need for sleeping tablets after that one I think. I will keep you posted!

    Nice to see you are a non-denominational drinker.


    Simple syrup made with garden mint. Ran out of tequila so used a shot of light rum. It's good!

    Mistle is out of the nest, and I am hearing the little cheeps, soon to be raucous screams. She's back.
