Amazing isn't it! I think we all know of the birds that migrate and the dangers and great distances they cover, but I know in my head that I find it so hard to put into reality and understand the full meanings of facts and figures.
This is great Eric - I hope she gets to Scotland safely for a successful breeding season.
Last year April I was waiting to hear news of the return of a Pair of Ospreys to Lake Bassenthwaite UK. The male turned up but his mate of 6 previous years didn't (we never did hear what happened to her)-luckily a young female in her first breeding season did and they reared 3 chicks successfully - so it's fingers crossed again for 2008.
A great story - it put it in to perspective
