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.
I do not think that Tore is likely to move for a while. When ospreys do stopovers they tend to go on for a while.

By the time ours get moving again, all the rest will be at their wintering quarters! LOL
Loch Garten stats. and All the important links for LG.
The gale force winds look set to last well into next week too.

IMAGICAT
glad to help scylla
When do you think we will get an update - I wish Tore was in France at least - not liking the look of Hurricane Katia that will be with us by tomorrow!! I hope we get an update soon as to where they are - although more worried about Tore.
Bynack, with hardly any clouds, is 10 degrees warmer than Tore :o

All for one and one for all.
