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.

Good morning, morning people. Please switch back to the preceeding Gabfest page to read my comment on SECOND MUSIC NIGHT. Can we have it as soon as this coming Saturday 12th? or should it be the 19th? Or is anyone interested in participating in a second Music night at all? We need your opinions here now, PLEASE!
WOW JUNE -- you are out and about very early this morning , i would prefer the 19th myself but i will join anytime ..
Temporary, Sunshine, only temporary. I went back to sleep, but now I'm up for the day, ready for my morning coffee-chocolate. -- 8:30 am here in Ohio.
The 19th is duly noted. Now if we can get some reaction from any others who are interested.
Hello All
I see there is another e-mail from Fredrick on the Dyfi site on facebook,
He is going out again to look for Leri, www.dyfiospreyproject.com/.../news-from-africa
Lets hope he or Roy finds something, it would be good to know,
Ooooo !!!!! another music night, Yeah !! the 19th is good for me,
love the choice too, personal favourites, we could learn alot about our Gabfest friends
by their own favourites, looking forward to it,
It would be nice to have Keith back for this one, Get well soon Keith,
Hi Sugar, yes very intersting letter from Fredrick - bless his heart! Also his email is copied and postd by Alan Petrie on Satelite tracked Osprey (Non LG) page 79.
Yes, we certainly hope Keith can be back by the 19th. But watch the notice I will post in an hour or so for the evening people - I know they will miss the first one, so I'll post it again, with some additions.
Good point, sugar, we can learn more about each other. Also maybe we can each widen our own knowledge & appreciation of various kinds of music.
I'm thinking we almost need a week to think about what our favorites are. There is so much wonderful music out there how can I choose 2 or 3 "favorites". To some exent it will depend on what w can find on You Tube & that takes time. Then once I get a list I know I'll need to revise it.
