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 Lowry,..Hi June
Just found the site... June's suspect typing ..lol
Just having a wee joke June...brilliant pics.. I've a lot to learn..
All for one and one for all.
Hi Sandra, crossed posts.. got it, thanks
Thanks June for pointing it out and I have seen people mention before and what a wonderful story.
Sandra thanks I have got it now but could not open on here but pasted in my web browser and no problem.
June you can hear the hussle a bustle on the videos of New York and what a fascinating story and pictures and videos, I can see me spending hrs on there so might be away from the Gabfest for a while lol. I will save until I have time to look properly.
oh June black jag as gone quiet now and bet he is on the pale male site. I am fascinated and oh I will be there when I have the time to look properly but June I have to say I am fascinated.
Sandra I am looking forward to Autumn watch tomorrow and we have no idea what surprises will be on there. I hope Einion and Dulas are found. Frederic I am with him I still think Leri his still here. What a wonderful man he is, the lengths he is going to is out of this world and there is absolutely no need for him to do this and I am in awe of how much effort and time he is putting in. A truly good man and I know that we all thank him so much.
June it will be interesting and just wish you could see it live but you will be able to see when it is posted on Dyfi.
Yes B&B... been having a wee look
it's good eh!!
I'm also looking forward to see what Roy Denis comes up with, I'm sure the BBC wouldn't send him all the way there if they didn't think he'd be succsessful..
Hi June,the main Bald Eagle nest I watch is at Norfolk Botanical Gardens in Virginia,the female was killed in April by a plane leaving three 5 week old chicks,they were taken to the Wildlife Center of Virginia and were reared there and then released at a plantation,happily the male has a new mate,the cam is not on yet for us to see but the biologist at the gardens are watching them,today they brought new sticks to last years nest so things looking good so far for next season,think the cam will be on in Jan.
Before I can learn about my bad link & show you anothr way, Sandra has already taken care of it. Thanks Sandra. Thought many of you would like the site if you hadn't already found it. I like the picture today with the bird highlighted in the center surrounded by foliage. Somewhat different from most of his shots.
We've been through Norfolk many times, Lowry, on our way to the Outer Banks. That's where we usually got lost at least once a year. Sometimes found some interesting stopovers before we got back on the right track.
Lowry, I know we have spoken before about the female being killed by a a plane and so sad and a wonderful for the female to be remembered so much by so many people and a memorial for her. Hope the chicks are doing well after being released.
Sad news and good news the male as found another mate and hopefully many young.
June I like the look of The Outer Banks. (google maps).. have you any images to post from there?
