Yes that would have put the eBay book sellers on the spot. Well done Keith for spotting it in the first place!
ChloeB & Tiger's Osprey Data
Thanks for sorting out the mystery MIKE and well spotted KEITH
Thanks Mike, I'm happy that 'both' photo's are on the cover, I like the one they've chosen on the front, it looks 'Regal' and what a lovely tribute to 03/97 even if it is on the back. I can't wait till I get mine now, just to see what other gems are inside. :)

I have ordered the book and so look forward and admire RW so much. I am waiting to see if 09/98 it says was taken be an Eagle Owl and if the proof then fine. Is there evidence? I also think he could have been snagged and taken on the ground. There were droppings but were they analized??? surely they were?
Was DNA on 09/98 and AW taken by Roy Dennis and if not I am shocked. The droppings would prove if 09/98 droppings. I also would like proof of an Eagle Owl and oh I will challenge. DNA should be taken on all Ospreys tracked . Time for this to change and hopefully it will and I am saying for a reason as 09 a special Osprey
I have to edit as we should expect DNA on tracked Ospreys and do not believe some of the reasons and oh the Eagle Owl with 09 an excuse and it could be true but no proof. Was it his droppings, with DNA we would know for sure.
I do not believe the story of 09 the Eagle Owl took him. ok fine but where is the proof. Fine if so but we are not idiots. I just wish some-one for once would be honest.
I am honest and do not mind a challenge but I do feel I am right
Why do you think they are not being honest?. In every case the full and frankly unpleasant detail has been recorded and put in the public domain. The Eagle Owl theory is just that but it is,I am sure, an honestly held belief although Jackal is also mentioned. Had it not been for the efforts of their contact,Farid, nothing would have been known or found. Just how much more do you expect? The same applies to Ceulan. Regretfully losses do occur and your personal views on Tags are well known but I have seen or heard nothing to suggest that any group are being less that totally frank and honest. Quite the reverse.
Birdies LG DU update.
Am I remembering wrong re:09 that Farid found some remains with the leg ring????????
