Some people think Ospreys are a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.

If Roy D does NOT do it you would be able to knock me down with a cornflake.
The question is....... will one of them be sat tagged?
SheilaFE said:Date of ringing - interestingly the Dyfi chicks were still relatively young when they were ringed on 29 June. They were 34.8; 33.8 and 32.1 days old. In 2013 Oighrig was 42 days old and Breagha was 39 days old. 2014 Millie was 42 days old, Sesca 40 days old and Druie was 37 days old I won't be sticking my neck out to suggest when our two might be ringed! But I do wonder who will do it this year!
You are not comparing like with like. The reason why Oighrig, Breagha, Millie and Sesca were ringed so late is that they were satellite tagged. Ringing has to be left late for satellite tagged birds. The ultimate cut off point is 45 days as after that there is too big a chance of the eldest bird jumping out of the nest.
In 2010 due to a number of factors the Loch Garten chicks were not ringed or tagged.

Mistle is fish calling. Might be one in the offing
