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.
This thread is languishing away down on the bottom of page two.... so here is the latest update from the blog issued yesterday.
QUOTE
Breagha is still in France on the River Loire spending most of his time around an area on an island and river bank opposite Le Batardeau. Some flights have been short at ca. 4 km west along the river on 3, 6 and 9 July. Others have been longer. On 5 July he flew NW and at 13.00 GMT was flying NW near the town of Bréhémont before returning to the river at 21.00 GMT having flown 25 km or more. Similarly, on 8 July he went ESE and did a round trip of 12 km.

Thank you Alan. He looks to be quite settled there.

Thanks, Alan. Big sigh of relief yet again. Long may Breagha stay safe.
Kind regards, Ann
Breagha still in the same area as at 23rd July
Thank you Alan. It is beginning to look as if he is not coming any further north.
Tiger Signature
Thank you. It is such a shame he won't make it back to the UK this year. Will he next year, is the big question.
