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.
It's 38°C in the shade down there today, a lot hotter than she's used to in recent times!
Best wishes

Piret has left on migration:
"Today about 10:00 Piret turned to migration and was 15:00 in eastern edge of Latvia. Probably she will reach Belarus still today."
Swedish osprey 57375 latest position south of Lake Hamersjon:
Noisette - Not living far from Beatrice's nest I am pleased to learn Beatrice is having her first taste of Summer.
Hope she enjoys her stay on the River Ardour.
Piret reaches Ukraine:
"But hereby are two links of yesterdays and today's migration routes of Piret:http://goo.gl/maps/izDHWand http://goo.gl/maps/qHolwhopefully you could open those, that's new map solution also for me, so please respond in forum, if there are some problems to open those!In migration map http://birdmap.5dvision.ee/enthere is difficult to import new transmitter type data, so will enter there only one location per day (up to new technical solution will elaborated)."
The weather forecast video from TF1 for France for tomorrow and next week through to Saturday. It is forecast to be very hot, especially in the Rhone valley. Beatrice is going to get some rain and not the worst of the heat (canicule). I wonder how the high temperatures will affect the migration of birds in flight on migration.

You can also see how the French and some animals like the pandas, elephants and parrots were keeping cool. They made up some ice lollies for the pandas.
