June Spradlin B&B said: "Odin the last two years has tidied the nest before he left and dug the nest bowl and spent time with EJ. He has not spent time with EJ and I agree with June he has not been the same this year. He does not seem to have bonded but it was not a good start for him. Actually there were times when I thought " is this REALLY Odin? Are they truly certain this is really our Odin?".

Actually, I've been thinking about this. And I remember - a cross stick episode , Scylla has my picture in a folder somewhere
And the moss bringing - Odin brought several clumps of moss
Also - I saw one nest cupping effort
and one not serious attempt to mate with EJ
mmmmmmm so maybe there were some rituals enacted
hopefully ..............

Good afternoon everyone. Not sure if this is the correct place to write this but I thought i had better send a massive thank you to you all.
Its been a difficult year for me with one thing and another so its been very hard to commit myself to this wonderful forum, but I could not let the Opsrey Season come to an end without thanking you all. I can honestly say you are all a truly wonderful, welcoming group, even to 'lurkers' like myself.
Scylla and Moffer for your daily contributions of videos, pictures and summaries, your commitment was second to non! Shelia FE, Patily, everyone else who also contributed, too many names to mention.
Message to Tiger, your wealth of knowledge is amazing, I have learnt so much, thank you.
Alan P for keeping everyone updated with other sites, plus all your lovely photos. I'm about 45 minutes from Rutland, so its been great.
Like someone mentioned earlier, Its been a traumatic year for Ospreys, one I wont forget in a hurry, I have laughed out loud, then cried at the same time, think the older I become the more soft I get, or a wuss as some might say. Its been one rollercoaster of a season.
I wish you all well, hopefully I will manage to contribute next time, plus I will continue to check in.
I wish the wonderful EJ, Magnificent Odin, Caledonia and Alba a safe journey
Lastly little 'Bravery' I shall never forget.
Hi, Tina We do welcome "lurkers" here on the Gabfest. We call them "readers" or "followers" as that sounds less sinister.
Your "thank you" post is appropriately placed here. And we do appreciate hearing your kind words and thoughts. However, I fear that some for whom your thank you is intended may not receive it from here.
Please feel free to join us at your leisure at any time in the future.

Tina what a lovely post and welcome and a pleasure to see you and hope you are not a stranger.
As June says some of the people you mention will see your post here and a brilliant job they have done on the DU thread and I thank all of them for keeping myself and others up to date. I know when I come in from work, all the events are there. I do take a sneaky peek at work though lol
June I have learnt well and a while since a double post lol
I am not sure who is watching "Hellgate" but convinced the sex is wrong with "Squish" I do not think a female but a male. The theory was because of the big feet. Blood tests will reveal and I would not be surprised if tracking there next year.
I am no expert but curious?
Tina - That really is a lovely post :)
