Just a quick update on Yira. Yesterday it was believed that Yira was in the woods. I got a note from Holly Parsons indicating that she saw Diamond fly into the woods in the area where Yira was believed to be. That is all the information that I have.
Cilla Kinross is asking for unusual activity to be posted on chat until midnight Orange time Wednesday.
I remain concerned for Yira and I hope that worry is entirely unfounded.
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.

Yes, please keep praying for that beautiful girl. I sure hope we see her being fed and out from being mobbed in the trees. It has been 2 days since any mention of anything. Today is the 21st there.
Thank you, Jan. Yes, we need lots of them. She was sighted on the 19th – two days ago – in the trees being mobbed by little birds. Just another reminder of what the sea eaglets go through. There has been no sightings of prey deliveries – it worries me. We just have to keep sending good vibes, hoping for the best.
Thanks for this update Mary Ann! Praying for Yira. 🙏❤️
