This is my current highlight of my week. I go and see dad weekly and drop him some home made soup. We chat over the garden well. I don't go in, although every week he says 'Are you not coming in?', and every week I have to say 'No dad, not until Boris and Nicola say I can'. It's difficult for old folks. However, on the way home I stop at the nest to see what's going on. I feel bad stopping, as in theory I shouldn't, (even though it's on a remote roadside). I literally was there for 5 minutes this week, snapped 24 shots - Mrs (or Mr) Osprey was good enough to do a fly over for me - and came home. This was my favourite shot. I hope to keep on being able to give weekly updates, and maybe one day there will be little ones, or both birds at the nest.
So wonderful that you are able to document this and share it with us. Yes it is tough for the oldies to deal with the separation. My folks (who are both in their mid 80s) live an hour and a half away. I haven't been able to see them since mid March.
Thatâs incredible Isi...what a privilege for you & us to see this lovely sight. I canât get over what a great vantage spot you have there...I expect the Osprey didnât realise he was on line with your camera line! Really enjoying seeing your weekly updates!
I agree itâs hard for anyone especially on their own....he would love to have a cup of tea with you .....could you not sit well apart in the garden?
Great shot- especially with his wings spread like that. I agree with Pat. If the weather is warmer maybe you could share a picnic lunch in the garden. It sounds like he misses the conversation with you. Another awesome capture!
How wonderful to have that to see on your journey home.
Hope the restrictions mean you can soon sit in the garden and have a cup of tea with your father. My 94 year old mother is coping remarkably well with her isolation.
