I offered yesterday to start a new Topic once Bynack had fledged, but as we now have the updated Satellite Tracking page, and biography pages for Tore and Bynack, and there are some tracking results for Tore on Google Earth, I’ve gone ahead with it.
A brief introduction to the ospreys we’re tracking – first, the class of 2011.
Tore – link to her Biography
Tore is the elder of this year’s juveniles, her ring is blue/white 48. She fledged on Tuesday 12th July aged 54 days, and has started to do a little exploring.
Bynack – link to his Biography
Tore’s younger brother, ring blue/white 47. Bynack is aged 53 days today and has yet to fledge.
Edit: He has fledged, at 10.18 am today 16/7.
Rothes – link to her Biography
Rothes is the eldest of EJ and Odin’s offspring, hatched at Loch Garten in 2009. Her ring is white/black PJ. She migrated as a juvenile to Guinea-Bissau, and spent her formative months on the small island of Unhocomozinho, in the Bijagos Archipelago. Now a sub-adult, she has travelled north to Europe for the first time this summer and is currently in the Gironde estuary in SW France, where she also spent 6 weeks on her way south in 2009. So far, she has not returned to the UK.
Rothes' earlier travels were followed in this thread, now closed.
Really SUE !!! how great is that.Rainham Marhes. I must google that. What a smart girl Tore is
When I checked Tore's journey across country I found out she came over the Shropshire Hills and was just about a mile from where I live (well chuffed lol)
Here is what she would of crossed on the Long Mynd.
Maybe in a few years time she will make a return vist to land locked Shropshire :)
A very old Shropshire Lad.
I knew things had started happening when this thread suddenly got really busy. Shame that Tores has headed slightly west now and won't cross my part of the world down in Brighton.
Chris ! it looks wonderful country. Tore flying just a mile away from your home. How wonderful. Now you know Ospreys cross your part of the world you'll have to constantly 'look up' :)
Hello Kathy. Have we met before? A warm welcome to you.
I've spent a lot of time today pouring over the routes of Bynack and Tore. I was excited to see that Tore passed just seven miles north of me over Shelford. She also roosted overnight 19/20 August not far from the young offenders grounds that Mallachie was on 3 September 2009. And at the end of the current route I see there is The Noah's Ark Inn'!!
As for Bynack, well what a watery journey he had. I just hope he hitched a lift! Near the site at Bruges I see there were three points near a lake. I hope he is practising his fishing.
I haven't caught up with earlier postings, so hope I am not duplicating.

Hi Cirrus. I have posted on here before but not for some time. I started posting when we were following Nethy and Deshar. What an emotional time that was. But webcams & forums were starting to take over a bit too much so I have had to be strict and let go a bit. But always try and keep up to date where possible.
Hi
Just a quick note to say I've updated Tore and Bynack's profile pages, including screengrabs and notes to help you interpret what they're up to.
Katie
Wonderful KATIE very many thanks
Hi SHIELA - doesn't matter if do duplicate but as happens you have not :)
I really do hope our little boy didn't have much electrical weather to contend with
