Cirrus to refresh GE, right click on the line which says Loch Garten Ospreys in the Places column, and a refresh option comes up in a command box. Click on refresh and away it goes and gets any new data. Hope this helps.

Well, I can help you there. Or rather the RSPB can.

Have you visited the RSPB page about how to set about getting the Osps into GE??

No, I don't think so.  So that's where I should begin then, is it?

ALICAT - that's horrendous - only just caught your post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh   AG   very many thanks

OK DAISY  here it is

Google Earth

To follow the ospreys on your computer you can use Google Earth - a free piece of software that simulates our planet with satellite photography.

Downloading Google Earth for free

Google Earth is available free from the Google website: http://www.google.com/earth

Adding the osprey data to your Google Earth software

It's easy to add the osprey satellite data to your copy of Google Earth - just follow the steps below:

1. Download and install Google Earth (if you haven't already)
2. Launch the Google Earth software
3. Go to the Add menu and click Network Link...
4. Enter Loch Garten Ospreys in the Name field
5. Paste the following address into the Link field

http://www.rspb.org.uk/kml/lochgartenospreys.kml

Click OK to add the Loch Garten Ospreys data to the Places list on the left hand side of the screen. 

Using Google Earth to keep an eye on the ospreys

Once the ospreys are in your list of Places you can double click them to zoom straight to their location. You can also use the standard Google Earth controls to zoom and pan around the globe.

Choosing how often to update Google Earth

The satellite data will be updated approximately once per day. To make sure you have the latest updates, you can tell Google Earth how often to refresh its data. To do this, right click on the Loch Garten Ospreys item in your Places list and choose Properties. Go to the Refresh tab and change the options so that it updates Periodically every 12 hours.

Evening cirrus just got back home from day out and trip to hospital in ambelance as OH slambed all on with brakes as a car cut in front of us if he haden't we would have gone into the front of the car,with slaming all on bike went over and ihurt my other leg was in a lot of pain so an ambelance was call by the police and the car that cut in front of us just drove off, then iget home to find that nearly all our family has margrated

ALICAT  -  I'm horrified. Do you mean a motor bike??  I can't quite understand. Oh my deary me. What a thing to happen

Thanks from me too, AG :-)  What I did was untick the main LG Ospreys tick-box and then go down and tick Tore's times and spots (can't even remember for 2 seconds what they're called :o ).

I don't know if we can be much help to the other osprey group, not having tried anything with HD.  I know that YT can accept HD... ::)

HERE ARE THE LAST KNOWN OSPREY SOUNDS TODAY, as indicated by MOFFER and PAM at about 1520hr.  There are 2 little bursts.

Well, SCYLLA - those calls are definitely Osps!  I did enjoy hearing them

Thank you very much, Cirrus.  At the mo I am installing Google Earth!

Then I'll follow your instructions.

BTW I never got round to completing the info I was putting on here about preening.

Do you want to be one of my "Friends" and email me and I'll email you the info?

Let me know what to do about that too!!!!!!
