I am not sure if we should have separate threads for Rothes and Mallachie. If people feel we should the best start them right away.
The first data has been published on Google Earth and immediately it is amazing how much further Rothes has flown that Mallachie.

Thanks Alan. I just think it's a marvellous piece of migration how she has returned to the sturgeon farm. People say the human brain is complex, but the term "bird brain" surely is a misnomer.
This is certainly one bird that's not a 'bird brain', JenW.
How exciting this is - waiting to see what she does next.
Rothes Returns
A shadow passed across the pool and wings uplifted high
An Osprey plunged into its depths; its shining eye a fish did spy
Wings beat strong and up she rose, the fish in piercing talon
Upon her leg a darvic ring clear called to those who knew
PJ, PJ, EJ’s child, and chick of Odin too.
Rothes comes to grace our skies and seeks the lochs that fed her
And all our human hearts uplifted stir
With wonder, breath catching at her beauty
It needs reworking but such as it is ... I follow Lindy's leading and wish I was so quickly inspired as you, Lindy
Lovely CIRRUS. Well done.

Oh, Cirrus - I only just found this & its brought a tear to my eye - we did/do love Rothes so much, she is such a graceful, strong bird. Love the poem. Thank You.
Beautiful Cirrus. Your poem contains great feeling and emotion.
is Google Earth fooling me or is Rothes really near Verona in northern Italy???? Google Earth showes me a point there for 4th of July but no "in between points" at all??
Cats and women will do as they please. Dogs and men should relax and get used to it.

That is what it seems to be saying. I will get a capture if I can.
Alex : Has to be an error. Will have a look at the kml file.
