Nanny,what a lovely thing to say. Thank you. It has been an amazing journey, hasn't it?

Regarding the weather, the heat just goes on and on. The maximums aren't all that high. Generally around the 36 or 37C mark. It's the absence of any cooling sea breeze that makes it so uncomfortable. The night time minimum's are between 23 and 25C - not conducive to undisturbed sleep. The record has already been broken for the number of days in a row where the temperature has been over 30C and the record is just about to be broken, and then some, of the night time minima.

Mind you, the Pride of Barbados just LOVE the heat. The more you can throw at them the happier they are.

I'll have to get myself to the nest at the first hint of a breeze, no matter where it's from. Thing is, if it's too hot for humans, it's also too hot for the ospreys to spend time at the nest.

This is the only place to be and that's where I'll be heading very shortly.
