DAILY UPDATE (Loch Garten nest) Monday, 25 August 2014

Sheila, Tiger and ChloeB, I agree. If Richard's report is accurate (and there's no reason to believe this is not the case), the data seems questionable.

This is so sad, and one of the reasons why I dont like them being tracked,but thats just my opinion, and I know I will probably be shot down in flames for saying it, so sorry if it offends anybody.

I brought this subject up last year and was politely reminded of all the 'positive' reasons why tagging is beneficial and carried out - but I'm with you on this one and always will be. Ring by all means but tagging just seems wrong and to me handicaps the birds while they are still learning about life....

Just catching up with what has been happening today and have just read the latest blog.

Although it is on a sad note, these things happen and it will be right to wait for the next data input to see if things are confirmed or it has been a blip in recording.   Yes, it will be a sad note to end on for the team but they must also rejoice in what has been acheived this season and hopefully Millie and Druie will go on to migrate successfully. I, for one, am in favour of tracking . Look what has been achieved on other species and not just ospreys.  

Lets just wait until the next data intake to see what has happened and stay positivie.
