After the hot summery days of mid April we are back to snow. And the sight of Loch Garten's osprey EJ sitting up to her neck in snow is quite some sight! And tough as it gets for those incubating birds, they just have to sit tight. See how she is getting on on the Loch Garten WEBCAM. And it is the same for raptors on the other side of the pond: peregrines nesting on the Rachel Carson Building in Pennsylania are also sitting in snow! Follow live webcam here. On this day back in 1950, a big snow storm landed in Berkshire, UK and the effects on various species is detailed in this little paper here. And do check out thism a couple of years ago a bald eagle pair also sat out the snow to keep those eggs warm - see the incredible image here!
This blog is about my passions, climbing trees and studying birds. Most are of my own local and licensed bird monitoring, including ringing birds under license. And tree climbing adventures, sharing the magic for when you are stuck in the office and need a spot of day-dreaming to help you through! Thanks for looking and feel free to ask questions. For my day job I run Wild Tree Adventures taking people high up into the canopy.
