    I wonder about what they do as they age ie if they just stop coming back so am very interested in Green J as she is old and nearing the end of her productive years.

    This is an interesting topic that has had me thinking this past year. I dont suppose we really know and assume they will always try and get home if they are still living. Green J will be one to watch and see if she reveals anything we dont know.

    I assume that is why Roy Dennis wanted to track her, Keith.

    On Green J's page on the HFW, on March 15th 2014, Roy writes "An old osprey, like Green J at 23 years of age, is particularly interesting for understanding the behaviour of ospreys at the end of their breeding life.
    So, I believe this is the reason for tracking her.  Definitely one to watch and it will be interesting as to what we will learn from this. 
  • Having bookmarked Roy D's website and used it frequently especially just recently to check on XD , I now find my bookmark has mysterioulsy vanished and Google search !!!!!  can't help me ?????? Can someone using this site help me please

  • Rachel your assumption may be correct unless you personally know of any other reason.

    I intend to ask Roy himself on Sunday both questions regarding Karens query above on whether they may just stop coming back and I assume he thinks similar - "I dont suppose we know" - As you point out - maybe that is why he tracked Green J on behalf of his sponsor(s).

  • Cirrus - here is a link to the HFW home page.    Link  -   HFW

    Hope this is of use :-)

  • Oh, thank you so very much KAREN and KEITH

    Keith, found an interesting comment from Roy on Green J's page - please see my post 08:12.

    Be good to ask Roy more about this.

  • Seemingly I don't know how to use Roy's website anymore, I'm tearing my hair out here. Can't find XD and where is Green J's page please KAREN or KEITH

  • Thanks Karen - We were cross posting - Yes most interesting and a good discussion point. I have always assumed whilst they can fly they will attempt to return home if we call UK their home. Maybe I and many others may have assumed correctly or maybe incorrectly.

  • OK I found it . PHew. Not the easiet site to use I have to say.
