I was talking to a long standing member of this group and they remarked that I did not post here much but I still know what is going on. Well i still read a lot of the post and this is still one of the best sources of osprey history.
For the record I have been a member of this group since it opened on 21 July 2009. That is over fourteen years.
So how long have you been here and what have ospreys done for you?

I know. It's bloody shocking.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

Actually, I didn't know. I've always assumed you were an out-and-out technical genius!

That now takes us to end of March 2013 thread list - in which I found this:
(Poem composed by EJ)
"I fly my colours from the mast ~They're fluttering in the breeze.I only want a Nordic lad,One who enjoys fish, please."
"When I have finished with the mossUpon this messy nestI'll get down to the sticks and twigsTo make it look the best."
"I have some years of knowledge nowOn raising young 'uns brave ~They're all determined, just like meThe Osprey line to save."
"We are a proud and doughty clanWe learned it from the past:We know that we ourselves must beThe ones who'll make it last."
"So when an osprey up aboveYou happen once to spy.Remember that it was born of loveJust like Lady, and I."
