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.

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.
The Faune-Touraine website is the place to look for sightings of Breagha.
I can't get a link to work with all the filters on, but click on the button marked "peu frequentes" and look for "balbuzard pecheur".
He seems to have some company - there are other recent osprey sightings, but either of adults, or not the right place & date to be him.
Sue I can't get the link to work.

Thanks SueC, I have also set myself up on that site now.

Alan: Do you know how to sort the results, on Faune sites? To get 'bird by location' rather than the default 'location by bird'? If not I can help.

They do show a very prominent feature of a missing primary feather when enlarged on the site.
Birdies LG DU update.
There's a blog update from Mike.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Oighrig certainly in a faceless area but beside water hopefully. Is it the opposite side of the river to Blue YD?
Oighrig and BlueYD approx 38 miles apart:
Tempo
At this time of year, the end of the rainy season, the south of Mauritania is a lot greener and wetter than Google Earth suggests.
Your question got me looking for this slideshow....and I managed to find it again!
