• Poor Monty trying to preen whilst balancing on the nest perch which is strongly swaying about in the wind. certainly has a fantastic grip as he is managing OK

    I so hope there is a successful season at DYfi.....prefably with Nora.......after all the excitement/expense of the 360* observatory

    Monty really looks as if he is on some kind of fair ground ride the way the perch is jiggling around

    During a particularly difficult episode, on a message board,  in 2006, I apparently wrote this to a friend. They liked it so much they saved it away and only told me about it last year. I had long forgotten about it.

    Reaction to something is dictated by how you choose to think about it.  Looked at another way you can change your reaction to something by choosing to think differently.  I find that a very valuable tool in helping to soften life’s harsh lessons”  Tiger 2006

  • Rueful grin. You are quite right TIGER

    I can see why the team need to take half the nest down during the winter !  It would be almost up to the top of the 'flag' pole had Monty arrived to find it how he had left it and added what he has to it.

    [/quote]Tiger so true, and right, I only wish I could remember to do it ...

  • Many people resist change though don't they? Particularly when it involves changing themselves.

  • I like your comments about lifes harsh lessons Tiger.  I agree and I think its a challenge for us to keep trying to think about things differently :)

  • I had a tweet earlier, said another osprey in the area, Monty chased it off, so probably male :-( maybe next time ....

  • I hope there will be a next time NiteOwl.
