We've been obsessed with watching this for a couple of years. Watched the eggs hatch last year and went and looked through a telescope too. Beautiful birds.

Doesn't do much does it :rotfl:. Great, added to my permanently on in background :T and if I look hard I may see DD drive past .

Oh, and for nighttime when not much else is happening:

With that you get the added bonus of the neighbours thinking you're spying on them or/and nuts .

Apparently Ospreys have moved in to disrupt T in the Park - good for them :beer:

I love it, the falcon was just mildly surprised when they started collecting rubbish down below :rotfl:

They're there! I love it :j:j:j

Yup, still lying

Due to pick up in next few days though and nice neighbours are here so not all bad :T.

Was planning on an Ikea run but now I've measured the space available for storage I may not bother. Bathroom cabinet width only :rotfl:.

Billy bookcase with doors?

It's not up on their YouTube page yet, so I can't link directly, but Dyfi Osprey project has got some wonderful footage this morning of an Osprey doing a great Del Boy falling through the bar impression! Currently the top post on their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/dyfiospreyproject

Ooh, I haven't gone to the ospreys yet - I don't dare, during a weekday daytime

Following up from Tilly's suggestion for your storage needs: my kitchen is *useless* on storage, though it looks fine - I added some in by using a weird little nook by the fridge freezer. You know those tall CD towers, six feet high? I store tins and stuff in one of them

Yes, that is on the shortlist - you can get him already hung :rotfl:http://www.ikea.com/es/es/catalog/products/S09017831/ Too wide for the kitchen though.

I have found some high gloss bathroom cabinets similar to this but narrower and with one drawer which I think will work. When you walk in you see a run of units which are beech but these would be opposite them so I think I'll get away with white - the tiles are white anyaway and with a matching granite worktop and base (it's quite cheap out here) I think It'll be ok. As the units are prebuilt and the marble place will cut exactly to size I'm contemplating doing it myself :eek:. All I need is some silicon sealant, no more nails and a spirit level. How hard can it be :rotfl:.

Oh no, I seem to be obsessed with Osprey cam & Falcon cam. I know Gally warned us all, but I thought, what can be so addictive. Now struggling to take my eyes off the screen in case I miss something :rotfl:

cheers for the links people, my afternoon viewing has been fun

Feels so wrong to be laughing at Monty, but a "drunk" Osprey is just to funny
