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.
Interestingly it now looks as if Breagha is actually ahead of the pace set by Rothes.

Breagha : The Voyage Home, part 2
Thanks ALAN I wonder what caused him to go back on himself
Patily ,I think weather conditions played a part. Northerly winds on the coast and sandstorms in the desert.
Thanks ALAN

And with this comment by Jen at the bottom......
Breagha is still on the move and has made it as far as northern Spain!! Mike is still downloading data and we will have more information soon.
He must have been really motoring. Great news.
Thanks Sue He's really travelling
He certainly is...route came up on Google Earth last night. I'm getting ready to go out, but will post some maps quickly.
Overview
He crossed to Spain on 8th June. On the 11th he started crossing the corner of the Bay of Biscay, but thought better of it and turned back.
