What a delight it is to wake early this morning to gentle rain at last! The woods around Lowes are dripping musically and the loch surface is rippled by drops of much needed rain!

Our two young ospreys are snuggled in the nest using their newly acquired waterproof feathers to keep dry - their first real test so far! Mum no longer needs to be their umbrella, and instead is watching from her perch regally.

She now also feels confident enough in their ability to defend themselves, to leave the chicks for short periods - the longest yet was this morning for nearly an hour. She has even begun indulging in a little fishing herself, which is a fabulous sign of her regaining her strength.

It may be a little as ten days before the chicks first flight - we are entering the ‘thrills and spills’ time of year! Emma

As of 2 PM today, no sighting of Warrior yet. 

Oh how awful....maybe laying low like Callidora. Hope they find Warrior soon.

This sends me into a whole other dimension.

I always want these abusers to meet these guys:

I watched that show a few times...is it still on? Those guys are tough on abuse    but pussycats otherwise.  What a great show and group of guys. 

I agree that it is sad that it has to be done, but at least it is being done...

So sad and so wonderful at the same time!

She still calls it a widows peak. I know she does it just to annoy me.

Huh?

I remember you saying the same thing last year? Also! Shaky...
