The Ospreys are back !!

I don't know my Org from my Co.

Thank you Brian.

My Pleasure, to be sure, to be sure  

Brian, don't know if you've been on the Kielder Ospreys web site but there are have been regular reports of the migration one of their 2017 chicks  7L/Aln which has a Sat Tag. She hasn't mated this year but is now back in Africa, having followed very closely the route she took last year. It makes fascinating reading.

Yes, Nellie, I had to smile at the comment --> her longest roost was on a telegraph pole !!  Been there, done that myself but only in my very early days of course 

There is something to be said for this modern electrickery stuff !!

She's certainly doing well, and following nearly the same route she took last year too. Wonderful how clever there's birds are, and the stamina they must have to cover the distances that they do in a single day. 

Great photos from yesterday and today of a pair from this year's brood, one in Spain and the other now in Portugal.

Hmmm, wonder if they'll end up in quarantine for a couple of weeks 

Looks like 7L/Aln has reached her wintering site. Hope that the equipment that she's carrying will work again next year for her migration back to the UK.

I see that there has been a White Tailed Eagle chick reared for the second year in a row by a pair in Fife.

Brian, have you seen these photos from The Gambia of Kielder Osprey, Y6, a Nest 2 female from 2016?

Good news indeed Nellie.

  That's ruined my day, Nellie, I had intended sitting and sulking, but you have made me perk up no end   !!
