In the year 2020 Gtr Kitarr composed a song for our osprey in Port Lincoln
Link to music: Port Lincoln Osprey Song (on sound cloud, performed by gtr Kitarr)
Port Lincoln
A barge in the bay
A birdcam
And I'm watching every day
Boats bobbing in the distance
Sea the blue waves sway
Backdrop in motion
South Australian Osprey
September
3 bobbleheads do hatch
Mum will keep them warm and dry
Dad got fish to catch
Need to feed the babies
Bite after bite
Breakfish in the morning
Supper late at night
Instinct kicks in
The struggle for life
The pecking begins
The strongest survive
Dear Taps we won't forget
The joyful day that you did hatch
The worries
About the 3 day gap
The lack of food
What chance you had
It was all so sad
Life goes on
Dew and Solly growing up
Solly is the boss
Always first to get a crop
But Dew is fast and smart
He will find a way
These little dinosaurs are morphing
Into beautiful Osprey
Wing flapping
And panting in the sun
See Solly pancake
Till the gulls are gone
Some showers
Mumbrella in the rain
More fish please
Cause they got weight to gain
Banding and a backpack
Tracking Solly by satellite
Countdown has begun
To hover, fledge and flight
Practice self feeding
They are gonna be alright
Full grown birds of prey
And I'm watching day and night
Time to wish them all the best
I'm confident they passed the test
I hope they have a happy life
That's my request
With lots of fish
Their own bird nest
Some eggs to hatch
And chicks that fledge
Another batch
More fish to catch
