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.

I think if people want to folow the fortunes of Pot Plant Owl then the best place to do it it is on the thread that Graham originally started on the subject. It is here.
Sorry I seem to be sending lots of messages
A while ago I was looking at Arne and next weekend they have a raptor day but especially looking at ospreys. It says that the birds stay there until mid-Oct I presume these are migratory birds. Am I correct in thinking that as yet no ospreys nest any further S than Rutland?
Last Q On the Tracking non-LG birds there was a statement made that sat tagged birds have a poor record of return Is there ary specific data about this? What proprtion of tagged birds have returned, or is it too soon to judge yet? With my very limited knowledge I am not sure what the poor record can be compared with since if a bird is not tagged we do not know whether a bird haas returned or not, unless a ring is identified I am sure Helen Armitage quotes that only about 1 in 50 rings is recovered and elsewhere I think I read that only about 37 per 100
young return to breed
Help! I have lostthe link to Chloe's site?
I have just checked on the map and Dyfi is ever so slightly further south than Rutland.
The reality is that all young ospreys have a poor return rate. I think that the real figure is closer to 20% that the 37% that Helen Armitage cites. However the exception to this is Rutland which has a very high return rate.
The link to Chloe's site is here
Morning patily. Here is the link to the main index page of my site.
