I couldn’t find a thread for June and as I wanted to post photos that featured in today’s Daily Record I thought they would best be posted here. However I am using my phone which I find fiddly and cannot get rich formatting so will see if I can edit this post and get it then.
I hope you can see these photos clear enough and also the report. This looks like an unringed Osprey to me, but didn’t they say it was EJ.

25Mac has explained it all on DU, (Thank You) seemingly it was not EJ :-)

Thanks for posting these Mary. Very clear photos, must be a very smart phone.
What a sight to witness! And great photos.
Thanks MARY...but, as you say, it clearly isn't EJ
Complete change of subject - has any osprey chick ever weighed in at 2kg or more at ringing time? I know the heaviest recorded weight in Wales is 1.9kg - that was at ON4 in 2015.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Have these Photos by Jane Barlow been posted ?
on BBC website.

I wondered whether the photos were taken at Aviemore Lochan, but it appears not. So I have asked Rothiemurchus whether they have any background info on Blue JN5.

Hi Sheila
I see there is a JN7 ringed at Tweed Valley in 2016.... so its probably likely to come from that ringing area. I hope you get some info back from RMurchus, I don't think they will know though :-)
Thought I would post this here as it will get lost on the DU. For all of us who have met Nimrod I think we all agree this award is so very well deserved.

Heading to bed and just seen this.
How wonderful it is to hear that Nimrod has been voted Birdlife Malta Hero 2018. So well deserved, such a lovely lad he is.
