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.
Yes scylla "Prayers for Joe and Leri"
Wow I missed the news that Leri is also missing . Is the tag not working or is it transmitting from the same place on the ground?

A weak signal coming from the same locality over a period of time :-(

Not looking good!
Bynack is roosting about 6 miles from where Leri has been having problems!!!!
Oh Alan that doesnt sound good, although 6 miles is still a wee bit away. This is the bit I hate all the fretting and worrying about them, after all the dangers of the migration and them doing so well to get down there, now it seems there are more dangers in Africa to be concerned about.
EJ's Memorial Balgavies Loch Ospreys 2023
Wonderful as tracking is, I don't know how I could cope if it was one of mine appearing to be in trouble! I'd be on the next plane!
This is such a worrying time for all waiting for news & it doesn't look good. I am really hoping for good news soon. It was the speed & direction that worries me most-towards village. Just praying the transmitter has fell off & been found.
One Life - Live It!!
ALAN Thank you for the update on Bynack. Worrying times all round.
VALMC were your birds tagged this year. I have checked the website, but cannot find anything about it - probably me not looking properly.

Oh Lord, something else to worry about until Wednesday - I can't stand this!!!! Lets hope he moves much further South or heads back North again.
SheilaFE Unfortunately chicks were not ringed. At the time we thought that 1 chick was too close to fledging to risk attempting to ring them. The person who could have ringed the chicks was just to busy to get to me in time.
