So jealous of you guys, have this mental pic of what's been going on and your just having way to much fun without me!
Enjoy the time together, lots of great memories happening I'll bet. Really happy for all the watchers getting to spend this time with each other.
I treasure my time with the ROC Falcon watchers. Alas, it is always so short, and the encounters too few. MAK was my "escort" this year, as we checked Broad Street Bridge - nothing doing - and then out to Brighton, where we got a wonderful fly-past. I am waaaaaaay behind as to how this falcon is called Pigott, so maybe someone would oblige with the info. Meanwhile, I so regret not having seen Dawn and many others. Funny... I am more in the loop while back in Ireland than when I am in ROC, as Dad and family takes so much of my time... NOT a complaint, mind you!! Donna being there now is a particular "boo-hoo"! Slainte!!!  Pigott was named for a prominent family in Hamilton, ON where she was hatched. Thanks, Ei... but how did we discover that's who she is??? |

Thanks to Donna for keeping me updated on this. That chick sure is getting big! Here's the latest from the Loch of Lowes. Every time I check, I am in awe of The Lady of the Loch!
"Another day and another set of completely different weather conditions. It’s been a windy day on the loch in comparison to the heavy rain of Thursday and bright sunshine of Wednesday but our Ospreys don’t seem fussed. Our chick is growing so rapidly, I’m just back from a couple of days off and I can’t believe the difference. It’s now got most of its feathers in with their distinctive blonde ‘highlights’ as you’d expect an immature bird to have and the white back stripe is disappearing. It is also is standing up and practicing taking its weight on its legs much more but not always successfully, I watched it fall over several times this afternoon as it tried to stand up. Our female continues to stuff it full of fish, even when sometimes it appears not to want food. We’ve not seen much of our male today; he’s brought a Brown Trout in this morning and has been on the nest a couple of times when there have been other Ospreys nearby. None of them have approached the nest and in one case neither parent seemed that bothered by a lone osprey flying past. We were watching the footage of the chick hatching today and it’s hard to believe that 32 days ago it was so small it and came out of something the size of a hen’s egg."
