DAILY UPDATE ~ Loch Garten nest ~ Monday, 2 April 2018

Much more to-ing and fro-ing from EJ on the nest yesterday, stickifying and searching the skies for her Potential Prince (cue the music Limpy thoughtfully provided for her). Maybe as more osprey move north, the possibilities will increase. Tomorrow is another day, and hopefully she is snoozing watchfully near the nest until the morning arrives and she can greet the Breakfast Club.

  • That sounds logical - BUT would there not be a record of the left legged bird ringed Blue 08?

  • The BTO would have records and probably the ringer as well.

  • Irvine, there are a lot of birds ringed, especially in non-public nests, that we do not know about however the ringers keep records.

    If this is Blue 08, and we think it is, well hopefully someone will contact LG and provide further info.

  • Irvine, my understanding is that not all ringed birds details are made available. It is up to the person doing the ringing if they pass the details on, usually to Roy Dennis. So there is no guarantee that the details are publicly known. I think this is because although the ringers are licensed, they are volunteers and the process is not organised by a central body. Ian

  • Sorry to be a pain (and I know I am guilty too)  but ,......

    All this about ringing is really interesting but should we not take it to the Osprey Chat Thread as all our chat makes more work for Birdie writing up her summaries.

    Thanks :-)
