For those who are interested in osprey 'ancestry'.............
With regard to Sue C's post: of 19th March 2011:
2003 EJ lost her nest to a more aggressive female,
The female in question was Green 7B. EJ had laid eggs and, having seen off EJ, Green 7B bought in nesting material which she placed over the eggs. Green 7B was unsuccessful in breeding that year - but in 2002 she had (as a 2 year old) arrived late at the Loch Garten nest. There had been many disputes between male ospreys at Garten that year as the male osprey (Olly) who had 'reigned supreme' for many years had not returned. Green 7B persuaded the conquering male to feed her, but did not produce eggs.
Green 7B also had an ancestral link to LG - she was Olly's grand-daughter.
Some people think Ospreys are a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.
I would love to hear from Cringer again.
So would I Brenda, hopefully he may appear when the Ospreys do LOL
EJ's Memorial Balgavies Loch Ospreys 2023
Mary, Tiger Brenda and Chloe so fascinating and not going to mention EJ and now know why Ollie and Olive so well thought of. so interesting :)
I do also think a good book could be written.
I have to mention EJ also as a hard life but has it gone full circle from OVS and Henry, now to Odin and Blue XD.
Most importantly, I hope EJ and others make it back and it is not guaranteed
Not saying anymore and see what happens and oh yes a great book could be written
These birds certainly keep us entertained don't they? Better than any soap :)

I think your brilliant memory & ability to refer back to threads from many years ago has been commented on elsewhere. I see that the last post to this thread was five years ago, your recall is indeed inpressive. Ian
