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.

The 5th is there, CIRRUS, it's just buried unless you expand sufficiently:
Thanks for that link, SUE - Bynack's area looks lovely and there are pretty streams for him :-)
IMAGICAT
Oh, fine - I thought I'd zoomed in properly.
Thanks SCYLLA
What does Ems mean please?
EDIT oh, I think Ems must be a person ????????????/ over at Dyfi place ??????????????
Bynack's river looks lovely SUE thanks for that link
Thank you SCYLLA I missed that one as well.
He will be tying himself in knots before long lol.
A very old Shropshire Lad.
Just cathing up after my return from holiday and coming home to some bad news about my dear sister. Thanks to all for the commentary on Tore and Bynack. Hope Tore didn't try to cross the Channel on Tuesday, storm force winds and heavy rain that day. I haven't set up the tracking yet so wondered if there is some later data now about them both.

The latest updates are for the 6th Sept and they havent moved from their new base camps for nearly a week now :)
Rothes is set for nice weather next week, so not much chance of her drifting south?
Royan forecast (just to the north of Rothes).
Will she, won't she, or should that be, Will he, won't he. :o)

Thanks to all re tracking of Tore and Bynack. So Tore is still lingering in Cornwall, hope she sets of soon before the next batch of wild and wet weather hits us.
Today is the day to go if she is as from Saturday we are in for winds from the south and on Sunday they are going to be gale force making the channel crossing seem twice as long :(
