This is a celebration of life, for all of your fond memories - whether 'missing in action' or otherwise. I'm starting this off with my very special favorite, little 'Bravery' (chick 3 LG nest 2012).
Here he is, deciding to abandon nestoration to take a good look at his domain.......
Beautiful MARY Thank you for doing that
Do you remember where the central picture on the left was taken?
Beautiful Mary GK, thank you.
Mary, that is lovely thank you.
Thank you Mary. A wonderful montage.
Mary a lovely Montage and miss you Nora x
Thanks everyone - I have to admit to be quite teary eyed making it up and seeing these photographs of beautiful Nora.

I concur Mary - wonderful pictures and it made me a bit teary too. I keep thinking about Nora lately. Im really happy Monty has Glesni but after last year and Ceulan and Nora, I really hoped she was coming back this year.
It is always sad Mary/Seagull and no chicks survived unless maybe Enion turns up.
A very sad loss and my fondest memories of Nora are her pretending and practising at the side of the nest to feed a chick as she was learning how to feed Enion.
That video is so moving and special.
I'd like to post my pictures of our special girl, Caledonia on here, to keep her with other loved ones, now in spirit, and also those who may return (missing in action).
There are 2 main things I remember about dear Caledonia: Firstly she always seemed wise for her years. In studying her behaviour all season, like many of you, she seemed to have an old head on young shoulders; such as when she used to put her sister Alba in her place when she was bullying little Bravery. Only when it was too late, and Bravery was clearly dying, did she decide to join in and hasten, what could only be under the circumstances, a merciful end.
Secondly, was her beauty - the vibrant russet of her head feathers which used to blaze in the sunlight.
Your life was so precious, and your death so....random. I will always remember you. Rest in peace Dear One.
