Hi all. A question: Why are the manton bay (or Rutland in general I think) Ospreys being referred as 33(11) etc. Is the number between brackets from the metal ring? I don’t see this with other o’s?
Hi Bart, yes you will often see the brackets with a number within when referring to any Rutland osprey and also prefixed with a colour. I know I use this format quite often on the thread. The format refers to the darvic and year the osprey hatched ie Blue 33(11). (11) is just a reference used for the year he hatched. Another example often brought up at Manton Bay is Maya's previous partner - Green 5R(04) ie Green Darvic, number 5R and (04) hatched 2004. Hope this explains
