If nothing goes right, go left! :-)
Morning all. Empty nest and very quiet.
SANDRA !!!!! I've sent three emails !!!! please read them all before actioning :) I made a boo boo.
I am so sad Lady has gone but so glad at the same time !!
Good morning all and thanks to Silver and patily for the captures. Sandra bet you are missing Lady as I am and I have only seen Blue on captures. Season goes so quickly but thoughts will be with our beautiful Lady for a safe journey together with Blue and Laddie. What a fantastic pair they have been. Nest still empty and Mary lovely words from you.

It saddens me to see them go
So may miles so many threats
And three full years most probably
Before they undertake the route
Back to their natal hatching site
If only one could guarantee
If only one could wave a wand
And in some magic symmetry
Leave each young Osprey in safety
A paradise of sun and fish
Each year the same and weather wise
The perfect day as each day comes
For flight or hatch or fledge
And then once more flight overseas
I kiss each feathered head in turn
In my mind’s eye look deep within its own
Intone a blessing on its life
And wish young Ospreys everywhere
Fair winds and sun and fish fish fish
I do love that CIRRUS and yes yes yes sooo wish there was some way of keeping them safe until they return It breaks my heart to think that some of these youngsters that we have watched grow and the dedication of their parents seen may never get the chance to return
Cirrus what a wonderful poem and it sums up exactly how we are all feeling, thank you for posting it.
Margo - We cannot help but be moved by Lady she is so so Special, I wish we had a video of her leaving this year like we had in 2010, this is one of the photos I took of her and Blue 44 when I saw her just over a week ago. Isn't she so beautiful!!!

Thank you MARY - you're very kind.
I too wish I'd seen Lady leave as I did last year. The Scottish Centre posted a heart wrenching video of Lady taking her leave and then ...... off , out of sight
Somehow, without the ''seeing'' there's no closure. Or is that just me
EDIT Lady with boy Blue - so very precious MARY. Thank you for posting that
No its not just you Cirrus, feel the same way.
Edit: But Hey!!! we have next year to look forward to, I am sure she will be back next year!!!
12:33 Blue44 back on nest and calling for food!
Edit - and gone!
