The 2012 and 2013 Loch Garten Group Awards Thread

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.

 

 

  • I unashamedly announce that I am thrilled to have got an award.   I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart - thank you, RSPB LG group, for this honour - and I must also thank my prodoocer, my director, my crew, and the stars of the show: EJ the Phenomenal, Odin the Magnificent, Caledonia-Capacious-Crop, and Alba-Always-Late... and of course, my mom and dad :o  And special thanks to MOFFER for being my subtitles, without which I wouldn't know what I was seeing half the time ;-D

    Seriously though - we are all the LG TEAM!

  • LOL  Scylla!!    Loved that!    Seriously though, you have been a tremendous poster and helped to make the threads what they became.

    After some thought, I too think that Everyone is right who has written that we should all award ourselves something, even if its only a pat on the back, for being such a great group of people and for making these threads what they are now.  We are all different, but everyones input adds to the whole. Long live the Loch Garten Group!!

  • Hi Ladies & Gentlemen....

    How could we possibly single any one person out... Yes some have specialist knowledge that they are very happy to pass on some have very special skills that they share with us, but WE all have one thing... A fantastic group of like minded (most of the time) osprey lovers..  

    My opinion is any award is for the whole group..  

    If I haven't done so already I apologise but the good egg for April that came my way.. A first for the LG Group, I dedicate to you all.

    I agree Lindybird... Long live the Loch Garten Group!!

    All for one and one for all.

     

  • Morning all and Tiger I agree with your nominations for awards, but you should definitely be on this list.  Very hard to single people out as all the forum members add so much to our enjoyment.  It is our shared love of these wonderful birds that brought us altogether and wha a lot we have learned since this thread and others were started.  You are all a great bunch of people and long may the Loch Garten Group remain.  I feel proud to be part of it.

    Scylla, what a sensible response.  The stars of the show definitely deserve awards - I propose a safe migration and return for all of them!  Anybody disagree?

    Our herring gulls are red listed birds.  Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

  • I would like to take this chance to thank everyone for composing the Daily Summary Thread. It can be quite hard work at times and time consuming, so a huge thank you to Heron, Lynette, Barbara, Patily, Scylla, Mary, Lmac, Clare, AG, CC, Robert the Bruce, Sheila, Limpy, Mims and Noc. Together we wrote 149 summaries! I think that we all deserve a pat on the back :o)
