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.
Unknown said: Tiger There hasn't been a Google Earth update since 27/4, but Jen's blog of 8th May referred briefly to "Breagha, who continues to do well in Senegal", so I guess he was still in his usual area at that point.

Thank you. I forgot that comment was made.

Like you tiger I was also thinking it seems ages since an update on Breagha.
There's a new update on Google Earth for May 11th:
Thank you SueC. Seems like he is staying south so far.
Dates when the other tracked two year olds from the UK set off northwards:
Rothiemurchus (Roy Dennis) - 9th May 2011
Rothes (Loch Garten) - 22nd May 2011
Blue YD (SWT) - 24th April 2014
White 14 (Bassenthwaite) - 21st April 2015; though Bioko Island is a lot further south.
Thank you for the update on Breagha, Sue. It is good to know he is staying safe. He is in no hurry to start his maiden voyage north!

Breagha has been updated on Google Earth with 3 fixes on 20th May.No change
Thanks, Alan, I was beginning to worry. Fingers crossed that Breagha remembers the route he took to get to where he is and retraces his path to come home (and presumably also taking mini stop-overs along the way as he did on his way south), unlike poor White 14 who seemed to be in too great a hurry to head north once the notion hit him and now is majorly off course.
Kind regards, Ann
Thanks ALAN Just as long as he is safe
