This is a new thread to follow the travels of these three young ospreys from the Loch Garten nest.

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.

  • Need your 'Crafting' glasses Mary....they seem to work OK!!. LoL.

  • Oh Mike I need two pair on for crafting ROTFL....

    Feel such a nitwit now, maybe I am dyslexic.    :-)

  • LOL don't feel too bad Mary, so easily done. I speak from experience :D

  • "maybe I am dyslexic.    :-)" or could it be too many Drambuie toddys!. LoL

  • Mike only have Toddies when I am suffering from cold & flu.....  thankfully not had one of them for 4 weeks now :-) so can't blame them!

  • oh dear, am I on the wrong thread?  I am so gutted about Caledonia and now Oighrig, Is Breagah as said stopped moving.  Please lets hope Breagah does ok

  • Hi, June.  I think I read on the Rutland thread that one of their youngsters was seen in Africa?  Apart from Breagh's continuing to be OK that's the other good news I've read.

    Our herring gulls are red listed birds.  Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
