ADVENT DAY 4

Telyn is Monty's third partner in nine years, all of whom have been Rutland-born females: Nora (White 03(08)) and Glesni (Blue 12(10)), being the first two.

It's a great testament to the work our fellow Wildlife Trust in Leicestershire and Rutland have done since the mid-90s, not only to start an osprey population there, but also to facilitate an osprey population in Wales.

The first ever pair to successfully breed in Wales was in Montgomeryshire (2004), the male was Rutland's White 07(97). The Glaslyn pair also had a Rutland bird to start things off - the male there was Ochre 11(98).

Blue 24 is also a Rutland bird, she currently breeds in Llyn Brenig and our very own Clarach, a Rutland grand daughter, has settled with yet another fellow Wildlife Trust, Scottish Wildlife Trust.

Many other Wildlife Trusts around the UK are also putting nesting platforms up and encouraging the osprey population to grow in the hope that eventually the current pockets of osprey colonies in the UK will ultimately become one continuous population, including, hopefully, in Ireland.

If you're looking for a non-plasticy, non hype-driven Christmas present this year that's also good for the environment, you could do a lot worse than join your local Wildlife Trust where you live in the UK.

The UK Wildlife Trusts are proud to be spearheading UK osprey conservation in the 21st century :-)

Right ! that's official then, I'm a grown up working gundog & I've earned my stripes ! I knew my sniffing snout would come in handy someday ! I've had photos taken of me with MY goose that I found & Ella's framed it & it's in pride of place on the wall ! BEAM !! am I proud or what ? !! We had the goose for dinner yesterday, I made sure I had my share ! well I did find ! I saw some Canada geese flying over us last night when we were closing the chickens in, I got all excited, but, David said, " No! no shooting now till the Autumn , cos they're nesting on Tina's lake just up the road . AWW just my luck, I wanted to go hunting again !

Hi, y'all been a bit quiet this last few months, been doin a lot of growing up, nothing exciting really ! Went Scotland with David & Rob & my brother Scott, last week, just got back, so havi ng a play with my toys ! Me & Scott had a great time playing in the mud, as you do ! We saw loads of geese on the bay, but David said they were too high to shoot, he managed to get 2 though, they were flying lower. I had to find the 2nd one cos' it dropped 2 fields behind us, I soon gotmy nose on it & found it, David said I was a Star , so special treats for me then ! I changed colour over the week , I think it may have been running in the mud that did it ! Nice to be home & sleeping in my kennel again tonight.... Luxury !

Funny stuff this water ! just the job on a hot day at Lynn Brianne, thought I'd get some swimming practice in while we were there !Bit deeper than I expected, couldn't feel the bottom, Yikes ! Soon got into my stride though, lovely !

I've not been happy the last couple of days, David's been away to see his mam in Leicester & he's brought my friend Pearl back with him for a holiday. Pearl's great fun , she likes to play games with me for ages, I think she want's to take me home with her ! David's been to the farm & seen my brother Scot, he's a big boy now, Wow ! Here's a photo of Scot at the farm with Rob ! Glad David's back now, we can go for long walks in the forest & up the mountain together Brill !

09/05/2014

I'm out & about again ! my hormones have settled down again & I can play with the other dogs at last. Saw my friends the Poodles in Caio forest this morning & enjoyed playing around with them, they don't play rough & Jan makes them behave themselves because they're bigger than me. David says, it's time for some more training now I'm more grown up, sounds like hard work to me, I might give that a miss !! Unless of course there's treats involved, then I might be persuaded !

23/04/2014

Here's some pics of me in my posh kennel, notice the memory foam quilting, nothing to good for this gal ! Still feeling moody & lonely, I need a boyfriend really ! David said I'm s*x mad ! HUH ! he can talk !!

16/04/2014

I'm feeling really cuddley & fussy at the moment, I think I need a boyfriend ! I really , really do ! David says " no chance you're too young " ! HUMPH that's what he thinks, he he he he'd better keep an eye on me or I'll be sneaking off with a super stud ! He said I didn't know about the birds & bees yet, ?????? what's that got to do with having puppies ??? He's such a spoilsport !

10/04/2014

Great news ! I'm back in my super cool pad ( kennel) at night & no plastic collar round my neck, my wounds are healing nicely & I'm being good & not licking them. It's good to have my own space again, especially as Ella's made me a new memory foam bed ! It's so snug I could sleep all day ! David says I'm spoilt rotten ! well a girl's got to have her comfort & beauty sleep ! INNIT !

03/04/2014

Yippee ! I'm allowed to have my "lamp shade" /collar off for a while now as my wounds are healing really well. I have to have it on at night when I might get carried away with licking it better though ! I still have to stay on the lead in the forest though, that's not fair !!, David says I love playing in mucky water too much, but, that's organic isn't it ? Organic's supposed to be good for me !! Ahh well another week or so & I'll be able to go for a good swim in the river again BLISS !!

30/03/2014

Well I've survived another trip to the vets, 9 stitches this time ! & some" pretty peace loving drugs for shock " yeah man ! gotta get me some more of those ! Why do bigger dogs pick on me, ? do I look like a piece of meat or something ? Sitting there being good by David & this Boxer just jumped at me & clamped his jaws on my leg, David did his best to get it off & got bitten as well. Dont know what it's name was but David said it was a F*****G B*****D !! So we both ended up in bandages & plasters, but we're ok now. Trouble is I've got a great big plastic collar on now so I can't lick my wounds, If I get an itch Ella has to scratch it for me , so not all bad !!! Any spare sympathy AND treats can be directed my way, cos I'm cute !
