It is that time of year again when as the osprey season draws to a close and it is good to look back and reflect on the season just. Once more it has had its fair share of dramas and its usual soap like quality.
Last year on exactly the same day I started the equivalent thread for 2011
Also 2010
So how was it for you?

Mine without any doubt is the video in the field at Dyfi feeding Ceulan after his rescue wrapped in a blanket. It still brings tears to my eyes.
edit as missed 09 becoming a dad for the first time also :)
My favourite moment of the season was the dedication shown by the LOTL team searching for Blue 44 and seeing him back on the nest. Also the telling off he got from Lady – that was extraordinary but funny.
Karen a fantastic moment also :)
Mine has to be the rescue of Ceulan at Dyfi,and the safe arrival of Lady at LOTL and EJ and Odin at LG.
I'm torn between Lady's return - that was such a wonderful moment, and the rescue of Ceulan, I can't pick between them, so I won't!

It's got to be Ceulan's rescue, though the return of Odin has to be a close second!
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
It was the return of EJ for me as I was watching the webcam as she landed.

Not specifically nest related this... But the whole community coming together to raise so much money for the LG Centre is one of the best memories I will have of 2012.. Perhaps even of my life. Now directly LG Nest related... Being there with Keith, Dido, HBOMB and a few others as Cally took her first flight... Unforgettable.. :-)
All for one and one for all.
My favourite moment was Odin returning and seeing off Blue XD to reclaim his missus! The rescue of Ceulan was very special as well.
