Italy, Siracusa:

Wednesday, January 1st, 2014
Saline di Siracusa (zona umida IWC) / Siracusa (SR)
 1 Osprey (Pandion haliaetus)

[Renzo Ientile]

  • However much I want it to be Red8T and the birds seem to be arriving earlier this year I hope its one of the MIA.     Tiger Red8 would have been held up by the strong easterly winds last year to perhaps delay him?

  • Yes we will soon know if it is Red 8T. He will be spotted fishing and at his nest, but I really do not think it is him.

    Well look at his form for yourself 

    Last year he was early at Gibraltar. 

  • Interesting to note that he was earlier to depart on spring migration each year by around 3 days per year.

    True, but his arrival dates have got later.
