This is a new thread to follow the travels of these three young ospreys from the Loch Garten nest.
Millicent
This female juvenile is the eldest of the 2014 brood, hatched on 17th May and fledged on 12th July. Millicent’s ring is Blue/White AN0
Seasca
Also female, the second of the 2014 brood, hatched 19th May and fledged on 15th July. Seasca’s ring is Blue/White AN9.
LG blog on the ringing and tagging of Millicent & Seasca. Their younger sister Druie is not tagged, but ringed Blue/White AN8.
Breagha
A male from 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 Breagha and elder sibling Oighrig.
The migrations of Breagha and Oighrig were previously followed in this thread. Contact was lost with Oighrig in January 2014, but Breagha has survived and is living in the tidal creeks of the Casamance river in southern Senegal.
Thanks, Alan. Hope Breagha can maintain his fishing spots when the adults arrive.
Kind regards, Ann

Thank you scylla for the alert - very welcome news.
More good news, fingers crossed it stays that way!
These birds are truly amazing, travelling such dramatic distances whilst we go about the daily domestic drudge!!!
OMG. Glad I was out during that nail-biter. :-/ Thanks for the pointers to Richard's blogs. I can hear the cheers from here in the States. Good job, Millie. I'm afraid I would not make a very good osprey - my sense of direction is rubbish, as you Brits say.
