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.

June I agree with Bobby day before the Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson a true talent after the Jackson 5. The Jackson five were too sweet for me.
I cannot wait to see my European Robin in the morning :)
B&B.. you'll need to helpme out, red red robin, Charlton athletic?? I can see another one of your escapades coming..lol
All for one and one for all.
Good evening, Black Jag . You are one of us and have been for a long time. & Lowry, you sort of got lost back there somewhere while I've been flitting from one subject to another. Are you still with us?
Often this summer when intruders have been at the nest I've wondered if it could be Garten being rejected at her childhood home by her own mum. On the other hand sometimes EJ is more accepting of strange birds. Maybe this could be Garten. Anyway, I keep hoping the day will come when someone positively identifies his ring.
Thanks June, it is good to see some new gabbers...
I firmly believe that EJ's ofspring are returning, if not to LG then to Scotland somewhere..
There was a thread (now deleted) about unknown Ospreys in SE Scotland.. not identified.. perhaps perhaps..
We live in hope..
No black jag, I found it and a very old fashioned football song indeed.
Lowry, I know you are here and I went away talking to a mutual friend and do sometimes get lost in the posts.
SheilaFe thank you very much for clearing up my Robin question and to be honest I was apprehensive about asking and look forward to hearing and then watching it in the mornings. They do sing all year round and that was what me realise he was back:)
I've just You tubed it B&B and now see where you're coming from..
I am trying to remember where I saw the giant cake shop somewhere between Carluke and Carstairs, someone can maybe elaborate. I have been so many places and should write the names down. The cakes are enormous and seriously I mean enormous.

Good night B&B.. I've a friend works in Carluke.. I've txt'd her to ask about the giant cake shop..
