Tracking Rothes and Mallachie

Tiger
31/07/2009 04:21

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 Sue!!  I guess she likes it there :)  Maybe when all the adults are gone she may get curious as to where they all went and  take off to find them.

    All this worrying about whether Rothes is going to head back before her transmitter fails distracted me from the Finnish Osprey, Jukka. I just saw he started heading back on 26th March (I thought he was only in his first year which is why i wrote this note but now I see he is a 2 year old and has already returned once). His last point (i have) is what looks like Tunisia and so will soon cross the Med.

     

    Another even more off topic. Does anyone know about the Spanish satellite tagged Montague Harriers of 2008.

    Three of them crossed the atlantic but they all ended up at the same point in Florida!

    Presumably they were ship assisted?

    Sorry i am wrong again. He was caught as an adult. His age is unknown.

    We had Osprey(s) on Mull on 10th and 11th (Bird track might be worth checking too). Anyway i look forward to Rothes's next update (message to self 'get a life'!

    No, too rare for BirdTrack.

    Thanks Alan!!  Rothes may re-write the  rule book again and stay for a couple more years before she  comes north . LOL  When she started her migration she re-wrote the  rules when she left long before EJ  did

    I figured it out!
    The transmitters must have been returned to the company in Columbia, Maryland which makes them.

    Just in case any one else gets into the same muddle
