This topic replaces Satellite Tracked Ospreys (non-LG) Aug 2012-Sep 2014
The scope - following the travels of tracked ospreys "not from Loch Garten", either originating in the UK or overseas.
Can I ask for some help in starting off the thread. If you are the first person to post about a bird in the restarted thread, can you please give the name of the project which is tracking it, and supply a link to the project website.
Many thanks - Sue
PC0 was also least heard of in Portugal am I right?
From The lodge Forest Visitor Centre FB page on 17 October 2016
Here's the latest tracking maps for PC0 and PC1 showing PC1 in Gibralter and PC0 still in Portugal. Hope they are both enjoying some better weather than us!
Blue PC0 was on the Tagus Estuary natural reserve, but there has been no further update

Would be nice to hear if PC0 is ok

FR3 seen in the Gambia yesterday eating a fish in a Baobab tree
I have permission to report that FR3 has been seen again today! The osprey spotting team returned to see whether they could spot Blue FR3 before they head back to the UK on Monday. They wandered and searched and after a while he flew in, landed on a distant tree where he sat for a while before flying off behind the mangrove and out of sight. A little while later they heard alarm calling, and two osprey were visible in the sky, one of which was FR3 who chased the intruder off. Shortly afterwards FR3 returned clutching his lunch, and landed in a tree much closer to them. FR3 stayed eating his meal until the intruder returned, and once more he set off in chase to see it off.
The team were delighted to see him again!
Thanks, Alan and Sheila, for this great news of FR3!
Kind regards, Ann
