Continued from Osprey Chat Thread September 2013
At the beginning of September I said that the osprey season should have been all over but it wasn't. Well it is now. Yes the two very late osprey chicks at Dyfi viz. Clarach and Cerist finally migrated on 18th and 20th September respectively. They were incredibly well fed chicks and are now presumably well on their way to Africa. Hopefully they will return to Britain in 2015 but since they are not tracked it will be a very long and anxious wait.
Meanwhile the latest European trans location project to Basque country began to report in earnest. Five of the birds are tracked and four of them are slogging their way through the Sahara as I write. For details see here
The 2013 osprey has been the most exciting for me ever and I have now seen 15 osprey seasons. Maybe it is because more and more people are taking an interest and doing their own little pieces. Surely this can only bee good for ospreys and their well being. So all that remains is for us to follow the tracked birds to their destinations and then begin the long wait until it all begins again in March 2014.
Let us hope we all be ready for an exciting 2014

Great card Mary. Thank you.
Birdies LG DU update.
Thanks Mike :-)
I had lost track of the clocks, and was surprised when I looked at them this morning to see only 87 days until EJ returns, roll on the new season, and the Roller Coaster we climb aboard.
Chloe I think we need one of your Osprey roller coaster trains again LOL....

We are not quite ready for it yet though. It will appear before the birds are due back.
Or people could use all this free time to learn to use the excellent search system.....or even Google Drive.
