Re: The Osprey Chat Thread for August 2012

Yes we have seen many of this man's photos over the years. Incredible shots indeed.

Here is his website osprey gallery.

Totally amazing photos of a Finnish osprey catching 2 fish at once: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2186901/Striking-moment-osprey-swoops-water-plucks-fish-water-time.html

Thanks to Paula for posting this link on FB.

 

What magnificent pictures they are!

So it is that time of year again, when the screens no longer have any osprey activity and the long wait begins.

Time to start looking at the countdown clocks for Loch Garten   and all the others

Roy Dennis is now on Facebook

Yes, this Finnish pool is amazing. I haven't looked in this year yet !! but I have the link in favourites. Time I took action.

Thanks for the heads up re RD on FB TIGER

EDIT come to think of it , I already knew this !! it's in my favourites

Inevitably the topics comes up as to whether the parents teach the juveniles to fish?

Just adore this one. See    dives

Tiger

Just adore this one. See    dives

 

Love it Tiger!

That is great TIGER

So the big question is, "Has the osprey season at Loch Garten ended?"

The beginning of the end TIGER. I'm convinced that EJ has siezed the moment and I really hope the girls get fed up of Odin not bringin them fish reallly fast whilst the weather holds

Oh, and ha ha ha ha ha ha TIGER - enjoyed that

Well the one thing I have a complete belief in and that is Odn's ability to get reluctant juves to move!

Amazing how different the behaviour of Cally and Alba and C2 and C3 from 2010. The latter two wailed on the nest for about two days before realising that the free fish supply was at an end.

It seems as if Blue 80  the eldest chick at Glaslyn migrated on Friday 11th August at the age of 92 days.

TIGER   C2 and C3  wailed for four days!!!!!!!  I remember being concerned that they would starve . Odin really had a tough job on in  2010. He's never had it easier than this year.
