JIM CRUMLEY: No osprey, yet, but hopes are soaring as we start to spread our wings

JIM CRUMLEY: No osprey, yet, but hopes are soaring as we start to spread our wings © Supplied by Courier artist There has been an uncharacteristically cautious approach to the annual ritual of seeing my first osprey of spring. It’s in the spirit of the age hence to be known as the doorstepocene (a sub-division of the anthropocene characterised by a fear of losing sight of the doorstep lest we transgress our allotted five-mile span and suffer a fate worse than appearing in Jennifer Arcuri’s diary). I have form in the matter of osprey-watching, ranging from the Black Isle and Strathspey to Loch Awe and Galloway, to Balquhidder and a Borders loch whose name escapes me, to the Dighty and the English Lake District.

JIM CRUMLEY: Nature s power to stop us, even on the most well worn tracks

Did I just hear you say “Oh, hold the front page” with a heavyish hint of irony in your voice? It’s true that it would be an unusual day where I don’t go for a walk in the woods, or at least go for a walk that involves woodland at some point. So not a source of captivating news then? That rather depends on your idea of what makes news. The Salmond/Sturgeon stooshie (which is not easy to say, I have just discovered) is certainly newsworthy up to a point, and just wait, someone will start calling it Stooshiegate any day now.
