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.

[/quote]I can only imagine it is named after the person who paid for the Tracker and Download.
Roy did report on Morvens Site several days ago: -
29/7/2012 - Morven has reared one young which has just started to fly. We have satellite tagged the chick – thanks to a very kind sponsorship by one of our local osprey friends, who paid for the GPS transmitter and a year’s download costs. More news later.
I know most of you like ring numbers, but I can't cope with that, I get all confused, so I'm happy for them to be given names, not to humanise them, just coz I'm useless with the numbers. Hope you manage to find out numbers, so we can all be happy :)

I have fondness for the new male Stanley at Hellgate and the female is Iris. Where do the names come from. Chicks, Crown Royal "Royal" Captain Hook "Hook" a good reason had a fishing hook in leg, "squiffy" just adorable as chick #3, so lovely to see and not always the case. Some really good reading on the facebook.
I do not like names and prefer ring no's but no continuity and all different. e.g 09/08 makes sense no ringed in 98. so many different variations.
now Blue 1 and 2 and Blue 44, To me putting the year on makes sense.
Aberfoyle I will not forget the names Tia Marie, TM and Tony TN.
I did read Roy Dennis wanted to tag 4 and one named now. Wonder where the other 3 are from and what they will be named?
