Osprey Sightings 2019

Numbers appear to be increasing.  You might find my post on Osprey Chat of possible interest!

Hi, another request, anyone know LA4? (Blue ring left leg.)
Seen today at Glaslyn.
She landed on the nest and took a large Mullet off the resident female (Mrs G.)

LA4 is not on the public lists but fits with others from 2015.

Hi Colin. It's being discussed on the Glaslyn thread, but no one knows any more than you do at this stage.

Hoping one of our Scottish friends knows her.

I seem to have missed the notice that female 5N has arrived at Rutland. Please can anyone help with a link to her arrival? Thanks in advance.

This is when we first heard that Green 5N(04)f had returned, kindly provided by Sandra C.  I don't have a link to any RW announcement.
