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.

Would any one agree that Bynack has back tracked (even though it doesn't show this on GE) ?
Cirrus: You are correct, 6th Sept on GE is about 135Km south of Belgian border. So that was a week ago.....if Richard is effectively saying Bynack has now gone north again.....he must be starting his north/south wanderings again.

Ah, good to see you, however belated I am , JSB. OK then, can't wait for GE to update but at least our precious lad is safe and fishing and I'm all for him getting 'fed' up before he tackles the Sahara
Re Bynack, if I was right a few days ago, predicting a move south via the rivers Saone and Rhone, he would reach the coast of the Mediterranean Sea in an interesting spot......because he would have to decide, on how to get across! East, West or South?

Roosting spot for Tore 12 September in SANDY's picture. Thanks Sandy. Looks like Bynack was grounded by his river!
Lovely photo ALAN - trees look ideal for a roosting Osprey
