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 - thats the same area as Blue YD was in? I hope she stops even to refuel.

Yes Blue YD did spend a long time on the Senegal river but approached from a much more easterly direction that Millie.
Tiger Signature
Tiger From memory Aigan or Fearna were along that river also. And of course Ceulan. Hope she puts the brakes on for awhile to feed. No word on Lonaig which is a bit concerning.
Millie is in SENEGAL :-*
IMAGICAT
Great news and you beat me to it as I was posting it on Facebook.
Great news indeed and that she seems to be seeking out fishing prospects.
Thanks SCYLLA Fantastic news! Hope she continues to prosper.....and Breagha too who is doing so marvellously
New blog on Millie - after travelling east she is back in the same area roughly as YD spent his first year.
Fantastic update, hope she is enjoying herself & getting plenty of fish & rest!! & Breagh too, of course!
Silly google doesn't want to spell Breagha properly!
Oh good, only took three attempts!
