2019 season summary: Laddie (LM12) arrived back from migration on Friday 15th March; Lassie (LM15) on Saturday 23rd March. Lassie laid 3 eggs on 4th, 7th and 10th April, hatching 11th, 12th and 16th May. Sadly, on 26th May the third chick died. The remaining two chicks were ringed on 26th June as follows: #1 Blue PT4 (M)* #2 Blue PT5 (M)*. They successfully fledged and subsequently set off for their first migration on 14th/15th August. Laddie left around the same time as the youngsters and it is thought that Lassie had already started her journey south approximately 2 weeks prior.

That's ok, Lynette :) She's a beautiful osprey and I hope we find out about her history
I need to go off-line for a few hours, will look forward to reading any updates
A quote posted by Alan Petrie on the Osprey Sightings thread a short time ago
'Sightings in many areas of western France yesterday including Dordogne,Gironde,Landes and Pyrenees-Atlantiques. Whether they will attempt to cross the channel in this wind is another matter.'

Birdies LG DU update.
A third osprey dive bombed the Blue ringed female, seen it on scroll back.
Trying to do a video but not sure if I caught it or not.
It was over in a flash, lets hope it is Lassie.
Thanks Mary - I wonder if it could be Lassie is back?
Best I can do without video.
