We’d like to thank everyone for their amazing dedication to this new blog and your informative and amusing contributions. Your kind and appreciative comments too have kept up our morale especially during the long hours of nightwatch.

As the nightwatch winds down, there will no longer be a member of staff at the computer 24hrs a day ( though the birds security will continue to be monitored). Consequently during the hours of darkness the blog will be online and you can continue to comment, but there will be a short delay in your comments appearing until the next morning. This is because we need to read every comment posted, and reply to your questions etc. My apologies to our overseas watchers who may have to wait a wee while, but PLEASE DON’T STOP commenting overnight- it is invaluable!

I will be writing a new Opsrey Diary post each day, in the early morning, but if you notice something noteworthy before the days page has started, feel free to add it anyway. Thankyou again for your contributions and we welcome any suggestions you may have.
