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.

Brilliant... Hello Keith... you are being missed... get well soon.
All for one and one for all.
oh the luxury of private health :)
Now I'm wondering how Kentucky spells their whiskey. They make great bourbon down there. I just automatically spelled it with an e. I think that's correct. My,my, my! the things I'm learning on this bird site!!
So, I'm afraid to ask -- what's the big deal with spelling?
Now I'm on my way for a little grocery shopping. Will be looking for an answer when I get back.
Thanks for the message B&B... lol
Good for for Keith, tv.. internet.. phone... all the best, SIR, get well...

No Big deal... Scotch is Whisky... Irish is WhiskEy...
That's it... lol
Ah Just remembered about the geese count...
Right here's how it works...
Count the feet.. then multiply that by the amount of wings on each goose... the devide by four... LOL
Kieth... If you're reading I hope that raised a smile... :-)
There is quite a big deal in the spelling as ours is covered by law especially a single malt whisky. But American whiskey is also covered by US laws. All to do with what it is produced from, where it is produced, maturation eg what type of cask and for how long it is in a certain cask.
Hope your shopping went well.
WOW Wendyb... here's me just having a wee laugh at the language..too
I knew the spelling was different but I'd no idea of all the in's and out's..
As you say June.. we learn so much from a site that is dedicated to birds.. well not just any bird.. Ospreys
Black jag count the feet on the geese and multiply with the wings. Geese have two feet and two wings and a none starter :) good luck if you can do that lol
yes it as been answered but a good question by all, how do they do a count on the geese. Fascinating and I know has been explained here before.

Cymraeg Gweilch/Welsh Osprey.
We do have our own special whisky in Wales and Brains Beer (tm) and any other beer!!! lol
If nothing goes right, go left! :-)
