Brilliant. Thanks again You're SO good to keep us updated!

Thanks once again Alice. Glad you have water again and no frogs detected. It is good that Mallachie is heading more SW in the right direction for the coast. Rothes is giving a whole new meaning to island hopping. All good news.

Thank you Alice. As Annette says, thanks for keeping us updated so well.

So pleased Mallachie is heading a bit more towards the coast.

Thanks for the good news about Rothes and Mallachie ... and great news that your water problem is sorted!

My husband has set the computer so that everytime I put the internet on, it goes straight into this site and I cannot wait for the updates each day.

I am so pleased on both their journeys to Africa that when one of them moved on, the other was settled for a while, it gave us a while to keep focused on ones safe journey at a time, well done girls.

Pleased that Roy's birds are all continuing to do well as well. One of the American youngsters flew north of their nest on the mainland visiting many large ponds and either died or lost it's transmitter. They seem to fly for ages over the sea sometimes straight out across the sea instead of down the coast to Florida!

Iv'e been enjoying checking the blogs as have spent alot of time off work in the last 4 weeks trying to get rid of a cold/pleurisy (not sure how to spell it) and bronchitus, hope to get back to normal next week.

ALICE-is Richard ok, not heard from him for a while?

Thanks Alice you are really spoiling us.  Look forward to the update all through the day.  Good that Mallachie has altered a direction just a liitle.  Rothes is still island hopping but she will move on when ready I am sure.  Just glad that do far everything is fine.

Jillian sorry you have been ill and hope you are soon feeling fit and well again.

Great update Alice.  Went to bed last night just wishing Mallachie would veer SW to avoid the vast expanse of the Sahara she was headed for.  Bless her she must have felt us all rooting for her to do that.  :o)  Rothes seems to be having a great time amongst the islands.  Bless her too - feel she's getting a lot of different experiences on her first migration as indeed is Mallachie.  x

Thanks Alice. Nice to hear Mallachie is heading towards the coast. We wouldn't want her to get lost in the sand dunes!!!

Glad your plumbing problem has been sorted out, could have been a lot worse!

Thanks Alice!  I really look forward to the update!  So glad they are both OK!

here is fame!!! news.bbc.co.uk/.../8305224.stm

Thanks once again, Alice.  Pleased the water is sorted - and no frog in trouble!

Good to hear that Mallachie is further west and not heading into the worst of the Sahara.

It's good that Rothes is getting plenty of exercise island-hopping - shows she must be well fed to have the energy for it, and good for her muscle tone too.

Alice, can't thank you enough for these daily updates. Glad to see Mallachie has turned a little nearer to the coastline and certainly envy Rothes island hopping.

So glad your water supply is back to normal.

Thanks for update Alice so pleased both are doing well .

Its been a great day on the New Forest webcam , great action , loads of noise and superb camera work by NFG so if you are seeking a webcam have a look tomorrow   www.newforestgateway.org/.../Default.aspx

kriszinabelle - thanks for the link :)  but it doesn't work - any chance you could re-think it? Thankyou

news.bbc.co.uk/.../8305224.stm

hope this works... and god night to all :-))

krisztinabelle: Thanks for the link!  Wonder who got that story on the web; also wonder if it made it on the TV news.

Thanks Alice. Daily updates for us, satisfying our greedy demands. We are like nestlings always calling for more LOL

Annette:-  Think the statements to the BBC are given to the local area reporters (?from LG) on the Highlands and Islands part of the BBC Scotland.  There was no mention of it on our Reporting Scotland programme from 18.30 - 19.00hrs on Wed 14.10. Do you get the BBC website over there?  Lots of interesting info on it all the time, plus some pretty good photos of Scotland (on the Scotland part of the news page ) which are changed every Friday.

Well bother, what aren't I doing? Krisztinabelle's link keeps coming up 'Page not found' . Is anyone able to help me please?  Annette? If someone would print the link so it wouldn't appear on the page as a link, I may be able to follow it then by typing it in my address bar. Thanks

Wow !! Rothes & Mallachie have made today's Daily Express (Thurs 15th)

Even a photo, no sure if it is either of them though.

Hi Cirrus

I managed to get into the bbc site & read about the girls ... this is what appeared in my address bar

news.bbc.co.uk/.../8305224.stm

Hope you have more luck with this!!!! (My contribution to the exclamation mark chat!)

Cirrus

How weird is this ... what I typed in my message above was NOT what has appeared ... its changed itself into the same link as krisztinabelle had before ... this I do not understand :(((( ... must be some IT thing that is beyond me!!

Thanks, Alice - good to know both the girls are OK.

DjoanS

Tried your link & it goes to the right page, ok.  Don't understand these IT things either.

Thank you Alice.
