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.
Oooo, Monday tomorrow, and hopefully news on Bynack's desert crossing. Hope he's doing ok.
Loch Garten stats. and All the important links for LG.
Alan thanks for the updates for Tore and Bynack and also to all for keeping me up to date. Having trouble keeping up with things at the moment.

Bynacks approx position (until GE update)
Great news about Bynack and Tore . Their migration compasses are working great.
Little Bynack who dove under his big sister's tail at the slightest hint of danger is certainly proving he is no longer timid. Now he is Bynack the Bold and wise navigator. He avoided the inner part of the desset
No signal from Rothes tag, but let's hope there are a few in the future.
