stevie said:Is there a history of Osprey young bred at Loch Garten in previous seasons returning to the nest area or indeed the general area to raise broods of their own? I'm aware and working through the histories of various young raised in recent years and their turning up back where they begun thanks to excellent recording and satellite data. I'd like to make some kind of family tree or know if such a thing already exists. For example one of the early Northumberland birds female Blue 35 (Kielder) is the resident female at Foulshaw Moss in Cumbria. Any of the long-term watchers of LG any records of previous chicks?
The last Loch Garten chick that I know has returned is one hatched in 2000. He was not discovered until 2012.
Tiger Signature
Is he still around Tiger - did well to go under the radar for so long. Do we know his ID for example?

Yes his ID is Green 2E and he is breeding.
He was runt of the brood and he had to have a hook and fishing line removed from his throat but he survived.
Not sure which he is but he must be in these pictures
