LOCH OF THE LOWES.SEPT 2015+Winter snippets

Tiger.....SNAP...... CHOL:):) 

As I can find no definite date when FR2 was last seen and the blog was a bit vague, I have put an approximation of around 17th August in our stats. Any advances on this? Could possibly be 16th looking back at the captures.

Thanks for the link Tiger - if she continues in a straight line she might meet her sibling!  

An interesting BLOG Today  from Jonathan

"Farewell FR4"

Well, my claim to fame! I had an anonymous mention in the BLOG as I replied to their tweet - saying FR4 was last seen on Monday (31st) - as I had posted a screen shot of FR4 on the nest on Tuesday at 06:39.  

Tracking apparently had FR4 on nest still at 7am but quite a long way away by 2pm...

Good luck to all the LotL family - let's hope Laddie and Lassie return to us next year.

Sad that Lady did not make it back for a 25th year (although we probably wouldn't have had any chicks) but ospreys continue to surprise us (who would have thought that the 6th and 7th eggs of Mrs G at Glaslyn would be successful). So we don't know that Lady's urge to return to breed may have become very weak given her age and lack of recent chicks.

Perhaps she is enjoying the sun in Africa...

Well now that it is official and the last osprey from Lowes is gone, all that is left is to thank everyone for helping to keep this thread updated throughout the season.

Thanks everyone!  

Hope to see Laddie & Lassie back safely next year!

Just seen this tweet from LotL

One of those birds has a blue ring which is unfortunately not readable.

Agreed. The reporting for all the nests has now reached a very high standard.
