Wigtown Bay Ospreys - JD our male chick flew today; JC cannot be far behind, they will be heading to West Africa soon Good Osprey Watching E
Chick at Terrapin Cove was banded this morning:
Alan This is the chick that avoided being eaten by the GHO?
Tiger Signature
Tiger : Yes it is the one remaining chick from the three. GHO took one and the other was found dead at the bottom of the tree presumably dropped by the owl.
Thanks for these Alan, just getting round to watching them now.
Thanks to auntie and Kornelia too. The ringers make the nest look so tiny!

Has anyone heard from Val Gall recently? Last tweet (Tuesday) she was hoping for ringing that afternoon, but there's been no update since - and wasn't she heading for Africa mid-week? After all the stress she had with that nest earlier in the season I do hope nothing went wrong.
Alan That is really a good video of the banding (ringing) of the Terrapin Cove chick. It shows the close up really well.
Thought that this was rather amusing from Gabrielle on the Finland Forum:

Thanks, but the wrong Valerie, jsb (Valc seems to be in Ireland, not Bridge of Cally).
