This is a new thread to follow the travels of these three young ospreys from the Loch Garten nest.
Oighrig
This male juvenile is the elder of the 2013 brood, hatched on 25th May and fledged on 16th July.
Oighrig’s ring is Blue/white CF5
Breagha
Also male, the younger of the 2013 brood, hatched 28th May and fledged on 19th July.
Breagha’s ring is Blue/white CF4.
LG blog on the ringing and tagging of Oighrig & Breagha
Caledonia
Hatched on 16th May 2012, fledged on 14th July and left Loch Garten on 19th August.
The travels of Caledonia and her sister Alba were first followed in this thread, now closed. Caledonia is the first juvenile osprey tracked from Loch Garten to settle in Europe; she has been living on the northern outskirts of Seville for nearly a year now.
Caledonia’s ring is Blue/White AA1, reading downwards. LG blog on the ringing and tagging of Caledonia & Alba.
Didn't know this site existed ..... now booked Very many thanks SUE
New blog - and Oighrig is in France! Just taking it in.....
Where are they now?
Thanks SUE Breagh doing well but Oighrig's journey yesterday is phenomenal
Oighrig passed over chester!!!! Oh my word - just up the road from me :-) I knew I should have gone to chester yesterday
He is amazing. Please keep them safe
I am SO sorry Still haven't gotten around to learning posh links but there is a new BLOG with the boys' progress. Oighrig still covering great distances and Breagh seems to like flying over the sea
Oighrig in Spain and Breagha took the scenic route down the Irish Sea coast and is in Tore country I believe. I hope his SE satnav kicks in now and he makes it safely across to France.
Looking good for Oighrig:
Breagh close to where Tore had a long stopover:
Gutted Breagha was literally only a couple of miles from me
