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.

You and about 10,000 others! What tears would pour from our eyes. It does appear that Akecheta is keen on getting his territory back. I just hope that he doesn’t get injured or anyone else. There is the other old nest where he has visited since his return. I do just wonder where Thunder is. She was fine when she left her eggs and the island. Maybe Akecheta knows!
Oh thanks Mary Ann! It is so wonderful to see him back and know he is still ok. God is Good !
Isn’t it marvellous?
💗maybe we will see Thunder and they take their old nest back🙏🤞
