RUTLAND OSPREY PROJECT 2020

Thanks, Mary, for the good news!

Absolutely wonderful news about 083's sighting in Spain. Thanks so much, Mary, it's made my day! 

Hopefully he's had a successful onward journey, if indeed he has migrated to Africa

Another update on Blue 4K(13) m - near the Mauritanian/Senegal border

Interestingly, last year he was in his over-winter quarters by 19 September.  I wonder why he is so late this year?  Or what made him so early last year?  The pink track

Thanks, Sheila. Is the second map one you saved from last year? Is the green line his return this year? I probably missed it but I cannot see a migration link on the current Rutland Osprey Project page, and searching their site for 'migration map' or '4K' only produces irrelevant blogs not mentioning 4K and also frustratingly without any dates on them! Reminds me of some retail websites which do not give any size details or any measurements for many of their items, for example if we look at baskets it would be useful to know how big they are (as though we would not be interested in such minor details!)

No, Gardenbirder, it wasn't one I saved, but ROP had a link on GoogleEarth and I did whatever I had to do to get the data on my GE. Sadly they haven't done it this year. The green route was 4K's 2019 spring route which wasn't shown on GE all the way. It stopped in the Atlas Mountains, possibly when they changed from ROP to L&RWT? The link to the RW info does not work now - "Ooops!". I don't share the excitement of an exclamation mark.

Thank you Alan.  This is a copy of Alan's link

This is the full migration route of 4K, posted on FB on 16 October
