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.

Part of the river Meuse where Bynack is/has been
This shows Antony Garden where I took the pic from
Definitely honing her fishing skills :) Nice pic ALAN
Bynack, showing no sense of history, misses out on a visit to Domremy-la-Pucelle, the birthplace of Joan of Arc (so that's where it is).
It seems the upper Meuse and its tributaries are rich in trout, pike and perch, so Bynack is probably doing OK too.
Great news fish wise Sue - thanks for that
A few posts back I have added in by EDIT two maps of the Gironde, one showing RD's image of Beatrice's flight path and the other the roosting/resting trees of Rothes, by the side of the fish ponds, from GE. The fixes for Beatrice are within the fish farm area.

Ian at Forest Lodge is going to see Roy Dennis tomorrow and he told me, that he will tell him about the probable meeting of Beatrice and Rothes on the 21st August.
Was this Tore?
