Is that the official new name for Mistle Korky? Lol
Sorry Wendy, but get used to it - whatever the vote it will be on this forum. Scylla's first post on the July thread was eloquence opitimised...

Nothing further to add, It said it all. Amen.
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.
01July FISHES - as per SHEILA's reports.
Such as they were, breakfish looked the best if only we could have seen it - the snaps are the best I could get.
I didn't find any more.
02 July
Mistle was very, very fidgety early morning, probably doing essential preening work, herself and kiddies, but I thought one of the chicks had fallen off the front of the nest, it was her tail, I hope
Here was a bg flap 'n flyoff, she's not back yet!
Mistle did return, had another flyabout, she's on the nest at the mo.
Today (I think) is the deadline for registering for RSPB Notes on Nature emails. Or is it today that the crucial poll-containing email should arrive?
See y'all later!
