Osprey chat Thread for September 2014

At the start of last month I said that the osprey season was drawing to a close, well it is virtually all over now.

At Loch Garten, EJ, Odin and the chicks have now all migrated. Unfortunately it now looks as if  Seasca has come to harm. The good news is that Millicent has made it safely to Spain.  The big wait for the return of EJ and Odin has begun. It is only about 204 days (over 29 weeks)  until we can expect to see EJ again.  

Lady at Loch of The Lowes finally left on August 4th. Will we ever see her again? Hopefully I will be able to answer that in April 2015.

Glaslyn has had a fabulous year. Another three fabulous chicks raised and yet another Glaslyn chick (Blue 80) identified as returning. 

Dyfi raised two great chicks viz. Gwynant and Deri. Gwynant has left on migration and so Deri has the fish supply to herself.

Kielder continues to do well and we await the first tracking reports of three of their eight juveniles.

We had sad news from Dunrovin where the  male called Ozzie was found dead. Very sad when a famous osprey comes to harm. To make matters worse thee is a suggestion that Harriet may have picked up and injury too.

Rutland still has its Manton Bay pair around. They are making sure that no other osprey tries to steal their prime nesting site.

So you best enjoy the last views of the few ospreys left. It will be a while before they are back.
