The Osprey Chat Thread for September 2011

Tiger
01/09/2011 06:28

In response to the demand for an osprey chat thread I am now making one for September 2011.  I guess there will be quite a bit to chat about given the success of the extension thread.

    JSB,  is it possible he followed the ferry...I was looking at his track, the Hull Zebrugger ferry also follows that sort of direction.. did our clever boy catch a lift?

    Tiger, I'd no idea that all this has been going on, it's wonderful.. you have a mine of information.. S8H, 2001!!!  my mind boggles..

    All for one and one for all.

    I think I have followed almost every osprey tracked since it all began in 1999.

    Probably missed some Swedish ones and certainly some west coast USA.

    Vespa  I know it is only a sample of two but  both AW and  9 (98)  seemed to have headed off in a SE direction. If you look back at the origninally tracked birds two of them did  sort of miss Spain but in different ways.

    I think we will know a lot more about this in a few months from now where all these birds end up.

    Mind you 9 (98) problem has not been migration but in an inability to pull females!  3 (97) has been rather good at that. It is a pity that 3 (97) is not being tracked himself although his grandkids are.

    Tiger, Reading his book I think Roy's thoughts are about youngsters, both AW(06) & 09(98) know where they are going & I suspect alter their migration accordingly. It will be interesting to watch Rothes & especially Rothimurchus & compare the differences between this year & 2 years ago to see if they do alter their route then keep to the new route on migration 3. It would have been fascinating to see AW's route from 2006!! Of course with AW it's not just the grandchildren of 03(97) that are being tracked.

    BJ: If so, did he hop on board, reference the low altitude sat fixes. If it was the Rosyth ferry did he place all his blue chips at the casino, on numbers 4 and 7. (A bit of an in-house joke, Bynack is Blue 47) :o)

    With Bynack do we get the speed/height information that I know is published with some tracking projects? This would tell you.
