Raise the champagne glasses please! Our dear darling Louis has arrived home to Scotland six days later than his most late date. Dorcha was seen in the afternoon. I sure hope they find one another!!!!!!!
What overwhelming wonderful news – Geemeff phoned me and I wish you could have heard the excitement.
He even scraped the nest cup!!!!!!!
If nothing else happens this year – having Iris return and now Louis, believed MIA, showing up – well, that means a great osprey year for me.
Take care all.
Thanks, Geemeff! Thank you to the Woodland Trust for their streaming cam.
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.
