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.

Looks pretty idyllic for Oighrig:
ooo, ALAN - a very tranquil scene - hopefully, those umbrellas don't mean too much human traffic and lots and lots of fish in what looks to be nice and shallow water (at least in the foreground) making fishing easy.
Hello everyone. Just checking in to see where are youngsters are spending their time, and also to stay in touch with my LG buddies. Thank you for your reports and photos of locations. Amazing how we can become armchair travelers with our bird friends showing the way. xxx to all.
