This Topic has been set up to follow the Spring 2012 migration, and summer activities, of satellite tracked ospreys, excluding Rothes and Tore from Loch Garten, who are followed on this thread.
It replaces this earlier thread, Satellite Tracked Ospreys (non-LG) Aug 2011 - Feb 2012.
EINION : Appears to be moving about a bit more. Latest position near St Louis:
DULAS : Still NE of Quebo:
Blue 44 s position early this morning:
Am a novice at this Alan but the place where Dulus is looks arid? And wonder why Einion would move away inland from the coast?
Tempo : Dulas is in mangrove swamp land. Einion is on an exploratory flight, he looks like he may be heading back to Lange de Barbarie, we will see when the next data comes in.
Alan Surely Einion is male?
Tiger Signature
I hope so. I hope they keep safe. Thank you!
Swedish osprey 19153 still in the same area of Western Sahara:
Swedish osprey 57375 latest position, just SW of Kristianstad:
New blog on Roy Dennis' updated site - Morven and her mate Yellow HA appear to have one surviving chick, plus news of filming for the One Show.
Alan - I cannot believe the Swedish bird 19153 could have been living in a small area of the Sahara for 2 months now. I feel, as I do with Leri, that this is a static transmitter giving off random signals. Do you have any views on this from the Swedish team, as I think you were in touch with them?
SueC: I have been wondering about that for some time but have been checking as the Swedish team are still posting new data. I did email Roine at The University of Lund in May when 49460 seemed to go off the radar in France but I did not get a reply. I will try again later today. At least 57375 seems to be doing well back in Sweden.
SueC : Roine Strandberg has just got back to me re Swedish tagged ospreys. Here is what he says:
"
The Osprey 19153 died in the Sahara (still transmitting) and 49460's transmitter broke down in France. There are one interesting observation in late May from Sweden, when Nils Kjellén (former project co-worker) had a male Osprey with transmitter but no colour rings. 49460 is a male and, as far as I remember, is the only transmitter bird we have released without colour rings. The bird was seen fishing at Lake Krankesjön not far from Lund (east of the town).
Concerning 57375 it has been building a nest at Lake Hammarsjön, about 5 km south of its parents' nest! We will change it for a platform during next winter as the tree is bad."
