Yesterday mims made me a rather lovely award in the form of this picture. It got me thinking that since TPTB habitually ignore the Loch Garten Group when it comes to any form of recognition then we might as well do our own awards since it is the end of the season.
I was thinking along the lines of highlighting the five posters that each person feels did most this year to make the Loch Garten Group the lovely place it has been.
Mind you the only problem is that there are a lot more than five people who have made the Loch Garten Group what it is.
Here are some of my thoughts about those who come to mind.
1. Alan Petrie for his never ending quest to bring us the latest osprey news
2. Sue C for her wonderful tracking threads
3. scylla for her endless recording of the camera
4. moffer for recording and identifications
5. June for her excellent stewardship of the Gabfest
6. Keith Rogers for his endless explanation
7. Black Jaguar for his wonderful bike ride
8. Diane for administering the Weekly thread
9. Annette for her long term contribution
10 Patily for her summaries under the most difficult of circumstances
11. ChloeB for her charts
I could go on and on but I think people get the idea. So pehaps people should think hard about who you want to highlight. So let us have some feedback.
Tiger Signature
Three guesses who gets the award for 'Friendly Neighbourhood Moderator'?
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Ooh, I'm not sure I'd ever deserve that.
So who do you think I had in mind? Well done, Claire - with the whopping increase in posts that the osprey season always means I think you and your team have done very well!
Thats very kind, I'm sure the lads will appreciate that.
You guys don't come in for a lot of praise from us so credit where it's due!
A little birdie (I won't say who) has had a word in my ear about making a few Award posters for Scylla & Limpy. to show appreciation from all the other readers of the DU thread, so here they are as requested: I hope you both like them!
