Well folks thanks for all your kind words and shared enthusiasm, it's a real privelage to be able to share some of these images with you. For me personally it's been a real treat to catch up with Margaret over the past few months to follow the progress of the ospreys. A big thank-you to my wife Sarah who gives me more latitude and encouragement than I deserve and is always there to encourage me to pursue my passion. She refers to the birds as my other family! We always check in the morning at around 6.00 am when walking the dog and up-to now Harmony is normally present on the nest. Here's to another successful season in 2010 - I'm really hoping for twins or triplets! I've just gone over some recent photos and thought I'd put a few oldies on I've been meaning to. The first two are from the 14th November - I think it was the first hot day of summer and the WE before I was due to depart to India for about 3 weeks. The birds really put on a show and Big Hook had obviously been in the water and was trying to get dry quickly - I just love the wet look, reminds me of our labradoodle when she's had a bath.
