I thought this was too special to put in the main blog this morning. It brought tears to my eyes. We wish the chicks well and good health, much fish, a safe migration and return in 2025 to Dorcha and Louis.
Thanks, Geemeff.
A final fish from Louis for his chicks

I went to the UK as a Commonwealth Scholar in 1990 and received my PhD from the University of Leicester in 1993. After three decades of university teaching, I retired to devote my time to the study of raptor behaviour. I am particularly interested in Ospreys and am working on a long term project on third hatch survival and siblicide in these raptors. My blog is a result of a fascination with my local wildlife and the desire to encourage others to love and care for birds! I live on the Canadian Prairies and prior to the pandemic travelled a lot. I am questioning the use of aviation fuel at the moment as we all strive to help our planet. My early research was in politics and art including British public statues exported to Southeast Asia and Vietnam Resistors that contributed much to Canadian ceramics. Books and articles were published on those subjects over a period of 3 decades. Now I am working on books for children so they can learn about the challenges our raptors face.

They made a wise decision under the circumstances – to save the chicks! Louis looks better thankfully and we wait for next year’s adventures with Louis and Dorcha.
