Hi Tom, and a belated happy birthday!Ann you win the virtual bet as closest with my birthday and 25th's blog suggests they have all gone. I am sure Sean, your brother and certainly myself (with a very nice, indeed excellent, chinese meal and a few glasses of the red grape juice to keep my 5 a day up) have had a great birthday. Cannot remember if we actually placed a prize but suggest virtual Stovies from the Taybank washed down with virtual drink of your choice and we will all join in.
Although I only managed up there twice this year this sites contributors, reading the blog, the skill of the team and most importantly the BIRDS have made this the best and the most emotional year since I started watching 2005. I have also enjoyed the introduction to Barn owls here and across the pond.
It is I guess time to wish you Ann, Tiger, the completely new addict Nick, the LoTL team and all other contributers to this years Osprey watch a great winter season ( I spend photo editing and archiving in fact this year also doing a college course to maybe start using the camera correctly:-O) and look forward to catching up with you all again next March when either against the odds, unfortunately, we see Marge return or the battle to takeover a grand old Osprey's nest, all the best to the Lady of the loch, the new Laird and yourselvesB B :t:
Difficult to believe the season's at a close, and trying to get my head round the lasting effect it's all had on me - i'd never have believed it would run me through an emotional wringer!! I feel sure I have some medicine locked away to aid the ENS which accompanies the addiction, tho' I can't claim I wasn't warned!! lol
Anyway, I wish you well and look forward to next season - I'm away to Corfu in two weeks, so that'll help the symptoms along with Roy Dennis's book, and I dare say a certain amount of ouzo & retsina!! lol :-O B
