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.
Thank you Alan. He is obviously happy where he is. So near and yet so far. Stay safe Moffalot :)

Thank you ALAN I wonder if there are any other ospreys in the area
Breagha is about 100 miles from the main breeding population of ospreys in France
Thanks ALAN
Thanks Alan, shame Breagha didn't come all the way home, but as long as he stays safe that is the main thing. Maybe next year with any luck.
Funny that Rothes and Breagha decided to only come home to France, it makes you wonder if many more do this.

No change for Breagha as at 30th July. I can understand why he likes this area so much.
Sadly he is not coming north.

Thanks Alan
I am really looking forward to getting out there - only just over 2 weeks to go!
Shall we have a new thread for Breagha alone?

Yes that would be a good idea.
OK I will do one.
The lakes where Breagha likes hanging out, seem to be in the park of the Chateau d'Usse, which we will be visiting.
