Where does EJ go? If not to Aviemore or Rothiemurchus, then the Spey or ??? for her meals, and how does she decide? And what does her wintering ground look like, apparently in Portugal/Spain, not Africa, as I discovered from these posts yesterday. Whatever the answers are, she certainly does seem self-possessed and confident these days. Unlike the sad days of last season, when I remember her looking lost and forlorn. Or was it just me projecting?

Checking Aviemore Facebook I see 'Ross' has replied to my comment yesterday saying that all the birds who fished were unringed. Darren of course confirmed to Mary that EJ had not been there.
Birdies LG DU update.
Just looked up and Scylla and Patily's posts weren't there when I replied to Mike lol...
Hope you get a good rest Scylla
Hi Patily
Yes Mike I forgot to mention yesterday Darren said in his text that all Ospreys fishing were unringed.
EJ's Memorial Balgavies Loch Ospreys 2023
Still an empty perch. I must drag myself away now, will look back later to see if EJ appears with breakfish.
Have a good day everyone.

Ospreys tend not to fish in the same places every day. I presume they have their reasons for that.
Our old favourite Red 8T has been known to travel 35 miles to catch a fish.
Oh and today in 27 July

Old 3 (97) was an early, early bird. Very unlikely to winter in Spain.
Oh I think they are tracking FK8's chicks which will be the first time that the chicks of an osprey tracked as a juvenile are tracked.
Also a non migratory Corsican osprey has paired up with a Scottish osprey at Urdaibai? Will the chicks migrate?
