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.
Good news again, thanks TM!

I am so looking forward with baited breath to the young uns that make it back. Thanks for the reports, Tiger. Fingers crossed. <3

Is it not quite a time since a Breagha update 9-10 days.
Too true but not unusual for LG so let's hope for the best.
Now you've put the wind up me, LMAC - so I shall take DEVERONSIDE's remark on board - after all, it's true!
How often should the tracking be updating now? The last point is definitely March 4th.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Was it ever made clear that they would continue tracking Breagha ?
It wasn't, Brenda, though they equally haven't said that they're going to stop doing so.
Breagha updated on Google Earth.No change but more fixes per day now being received
