Thank you Roberto. Good luck on your next visit.
Birdies LG DU update.
Thank You for your report Roberto, I knew why you were absent :-) and was hoping to hear from you.
It is great that you managed to ID the intruders at Balgavies. I wonder if Joanna at Kielder knows about this intrustion, I will contact her to let her know just in case she doesn't.
I am still waiting on more details of White JU from Roy, but nothing so far.
Good Luck with the rest of your holiday and I hope you see lots and lots of Ospreys :-)
Roberto - It is a pity that Blue YD hadn't paid a visit while you were there too, did you see that he had intruded at Balgavies on the 20th April :-)
The news about Blue 8H, the 2014 Kielder Osprey, is wonderful. That is the first time she has been seen since she left Kielder. The ringer will be delighted
Fantastic news isn't it Jaydee.... so happy for all at Kielder and the ringer.
Thanks for bringing it to my attention, Mary
You are very welcome Jaydee. I always think it is so exciting to see a ringed bird and then find out where it hatched from, all the better when its from a well known place like Kielder.
It is turning out to be another Rutland, but even better at Kielder as no translocation took place there so its success is absolutely fantastic.
LATEST UPDATE FROM BALGAVIES.... (Stunning photo of a Jay)
