LOCH ARKAIG - The Woodland Trust - JULY 2020

Geemeff - if the ringer has used JJ on other birds in his area last year, then the number could be a lot higher.

Pete's United Kingdom Ospreys only lists nests in the public domain - but Lewis will be ringing other birds each year in his area not in the public domain.  (If you get what I mean) 

I do get you Mary and very logical too, but.. that website does show private land ring numbers too. It's a great guessing game, isn't it? As good as gender - I'm for C1 male, C2 & 3 female, what do you think?

He doesn't list all nests though Geemeff, there are a lot out there that are rung but not known about  

My guess was C1 and 2 - female, C3 Male. 

 We agree on C2 female, Mary!

I hope George let's us know before bedtime Geemeff or we will be tossing and turning all night, thinking ring numbers and genders! 

Edit: I am glad we agree on at least one chick Geemeff

Thats where I looked to see what was used last year

I got this screenshot earlier and forgot to post it....

Thought it was sweet

When a ringed Osprey is sighted in subsequent years that isn't on the list Pete normally updates the list, and adds any info that may be supplied by the ringer.

In reply to Richard G B:

Mystery! But Mallie was JJ0 and Rannoch JJ2, so I'm thinking maybe JJ8?

Edit: we need Louis with a fish so they all stand up - or we need WT George to spill the beans!
