October has come and gone and once again it is time to open a new thread for the Gabfest.. During October we did finish the movie WILD MOUNTAIN THYME, complete with musical score, as planned. We launched it into distribution with its own World Premier. The Stars and most of the Supporting Cast were there appropriately dressed for their glitzy walk down the red carpet. Unfortunately co-stars EJ & ODEN and family were unable to attend as they are all currently on migration to Africa. Keith surprised us with some very interesting bird & wildlife reports direct from the Sahara Dessert and from his own equatorial Island in the Sun. His on-the-spot factual reports helped us to understand the dangers our osprey face once they complete their long hazardous journey. Our first music night was a smashing success that left everyone eager for the second.

Then we ended the month with a wonderfully thoughtful and caring discussion of the benefits or possible harm of the tracking of osprey and other birds. NOVEMBER will bring continued reports and DISCUSSIONS of our own “Special Three“, Tore, Bynack and Rothes who have arrived safely in Africa. We will be watching especially for news of Bynack who has been in an area that seems to be potentially dangerous. We will be watching also for updates of young Ozwold who was VERY reluctant to leave Bonnie Scotland, but is finally taking a stopover in Spain where Roy Dennis says he can safely winter. So, will Ozwold stay in Spain? or will he move south?, on his own unique time schedule? We will also be following the adventures and misadventures of other tagged osprey, including Einion who had us holding our breath while he made a huge circle over the Atlantic, his siblings from the Dyfi nest and others that may come to our attention. All this and much more is discussed on the Gabfest. We expect to have The Second Gabfest Music Night toward the end of the month. The theme is yet to be discussed & determined. This is the Freedom Forum, where fun, fact and fantasy combine to make a very unique thread. So come on in and chat a while with us. Our fire is bright and the latch is always open.

Hi black jaguar,yes reckon we all have the tissues out.
Me too!! I have lost my little Cymraeg Gweilch Leri :-(
If nothing goes right, go left! :-)
It shows as the blog says, the migration seems not to be the most difficult part of the cycle.
these intrepid young birds face so many difficulties when the get to africa.
All for one and one for all.
My hope, it was a nutural hazard... predation by snake or some other hunter.. not that she was trapped in a fishermans net or damaged by a discarded hook..
God rest wee Leri, you've no idea how many people you touched.. :..-(
On a lighter note... After the gabers music night.. I thought I'd try to make tablet..
I now have a pot of molten lava on my hob..
Oh dear, such a sad pronouncement to hear and I wasn't even a regular follower. Her portrait is beautiful! At least we can grieve together as a community who cares not only about our birds, but who also care about one another. My special sympathies to Sandra and B&B>
Yes June, it hurts to hear such news.. I know from the posts that B&B will take this especially hard.. we all will..
Sandra I've not translated your Welsh, but I agree, with Leri being a wee Welsh Dragon, I feel for for you and how you may be feeling..
black jaguar hurry up with the tablet,it will make us all feel better.
Yes Sandra, would you want to translate for us?
Lowry,
It's now in the tray... jings that stuff is dangerous... you never ever want to get it on your bare skin.as it si being poured trom the pot.. . I've been a wee bit adverturous.. I've added a wee drop of WHISKY to it.. Note the spelling June.. Us Jocks have WHISKY the Irish have whiskEy... lol
