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.
Richard has written twice on his blog about Oighrig, the second says: "Aye, we're on the case, hopeful that someone can go and take a look. If and when we hear more, so will you."
The Rutland team are out in Gambia at present.

Who is the osprey with the orange leg, which is an article on the BBC website about Caledonia!! I'm not sure I can make it out. Possibly SY or SV, or did OVS have an upside down ring?
Sheila I think that is a stock photo that they use all the time, regardless of who they are talking about. I think it is OVS. Tiger will know :-)

We have discussed this before. Is it not a picture of Orange VS which has been transposed?
Tiger Signature
Ha ha, Tiger, I was going to venture to say just that, but thought I'd be shot down in flames as usual!
Yes it is the very same. I do wish they would use appropriate images instead of stock photos. Easy enough in this day and age you would think.
ChloeB & Tiger's Osprey Data
Just like the rest of you ,coming to terms with the loss of Caledonia. The latest news of the loss of Oighrig is just heartbreaking. My thoughts are with you all especially Richard and his team at loch Garten.

Sorry it was a question not a statement. It said Is it not Orange VS?
This is Orange VS pretending to have come back from the dead. See I'l Just Grab Something For Lunch
