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.
I thought it was every 4/5 days choco but there was that very long gap middle to end March! Now I'm concerned again, is it worth contacting LG?

There could be a very simple explanation for the gap, like Mike who does the data from the sat tracking is away for a few days, or something. Let's see what others say...

Once again it would be helpful if they said something. But then they have not actually mentioned Breagha much since the loss of Millicent. The reality is that the only communication is via Google Earth.

They have been a bit erratic with their updates. I am sure the data is coming in every 3 or 4 days now but they only seem to select a sample day to transfer to the kml file.
Have just spotted a Breagha update on Google Earth, showing his movements on Monday 27th:
In short, still "at home", moving about normally. He did fly a bit north to have a look at the Casamance - but then went back to roost in his usual area.
Lovely - thanks, Sue!
Alan, I suspect you're correct about the sample day. Doesn't help, does it?
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Oh thank goodness!!
Thanks SueC, you have put me out of my misery!
Thanks Sue, great to know he is still safe.
With the news that White14 is now moving north, am keenly watching to see what Breagha is doing now, as I'm sure many others are too!
Thank you so much SUE What a relief
