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.
Thanks for reminding us of that Sue, and for the link. It looks far more inviting in those pics.

Great pictures, Sue.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Thank you Sue. Hope he is managing to eat! and takes a well earned rest.
Breagha stopping over next to Lac de Tetine:
Does anyone know why LG are now calling Breagh Breagha - or which it is actually meant to be? When they ringed the chicks they definitely just said Breagh but I notice even Richard Thaxton in his latest blog is now saying Breagha. (sorry to be all pedantic, am just a bit confused what to write!)

Tiger Signature
Thanks Tiger, I had missed that note in the comments list. I have been wondering for a while now!!! I'm glad they changed it because Breagh when I looked it up only really had a history as a girl's name, whereas I think Breagha is more of a general adjective meaning 'fine/handsome' and can be masculine or feminine. I'll get on board with the new spelling now!
I too had missed it chocoholix so was equally confused until it was pointed out to me. I then changed the spelling to Breagha in our LG nest stats.
Me too I just thought I hadn't noticed the a when we were first given the name
patily said: Me too I just thought I hadn't noticed the a when we were first given the name
That is because there wasn't an "a" when we were first given the name.
