Great to see you back, Mary, hope you had a lovely holiday.  Yes, MOFFER is a star! :-)

~Thanks Scylla~ yes it was very peaceful, just what we needed.     So much to catch up on though, don't think I will ever get through it all.

There is a new blog

Thanks for that Tiger :o)

Welcome back Mary. Hope you had a lovely time.

I'm glad that the donations query was cleared up.

I didn't think that there would be any movement today, but I was wrong.

Red 8T.  Looks as if he flew to France this morning.

I can't find anything else.

For anyone missing our boy, Bynack the Brave. Here he is doing what he did best, on the day he left.

Thank you TIGER

Just brilliant moffer and I have been following AW and it is interesting to see how an adult goes about migration and no stopping him.  I knew when he set off no messing. I do not know much about tracked adults or young and learning as we all are but someone will say if this is a record time for tracked Ospreys. Brilliant job he as done and he is the first to make his winter location from the tracked birds. Absolutely so elated.

DAY 99 07.15 The promised storm has duly arrived. Remarkably Leri stayed on the ash tree from 7.30 last night until 6.40 this morning, perched directly into the teeth of the gale. No sign of the other two as yet. Hope that all three will weather the storm until Wednesday; there is a promise of calmer conditions by then. There's even white horses on th Dyfi half a mile upstream of the nest; very difficult to fish today. Al

Dyfi Osprey Project Einion's coordinates will be with us again by this evening, but perhaps more importantly, we would like to see Dulas' points today - they usualy arrive at the same time as Einion's. Hopefully, both will be hunkering down somewhere away from the worst of the storm today, Ems

It's a tad more breezy here than it was. The wind hasn't upended anything in my garden yet but it is having a damn good try. It dies down to almost nothing, then whoosh!

Must be pretty wild on the Dyfi. Right near the coast and so open there.

Thanks for the link TIGER and the updates MOFFER

how's the weather in Cornwall?

A warm ''Hello'' to everyone  MOFFER  TIGER  CHLOE  PATILY  (all those who have posted so far today  12th)

Oh well, all the threads I monitor are status quo,  mm. To be expected I suppose.

Thank you for the latest update on Dyfi MOFFER

It's extremely windy here. The crows and wood pigeons are having a real struggle with the wind.

Interesting to read your post TIGER.

How do our resident birds like Eagles in Scotland manage in weather like they are having? I really would like some encouraging info if there is any to be had!
