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.

Jukka : No change:
Latest on US ospreys:
"At long last, I have updated maps for our 3 youngsters. Thatch's maps are really interesting. He and Belle should be heading north in April or May. This will be the first trip north for both birds. I don't like what I see in Snowy's maps. He's found a place in Venezuela that he likes, but I'm not sure it's a good place for him...
I didn't update maps for our 2 adult males because they're too boring! Neither has moved more than a couple of miles since they settled down on their wintering waters back in fall. The adults (North Fork Bob and Senor Bones) will be heading north sometime this month. Last year Bob headed north on 20 March, with Senor Bones starting the trip north a few days after that.
If you click on the link where I report the date of the latest updates, you'll go right to the most recent maps for that bird: www.bioweb.uncc.edu/.../migration11.htm.
Alan thanks for the news and link for the US ospreys.

"Einion seems to be settling in Parc National de la Langue de Barbarie on the Senegal Coast. Will this become his new winter home?"
Latest position for Einion as at 10:00 this morning. He has found another great place for fishing:
Here's someone moving - Erika (deep pink route) left her wintering site on the 29th Feb, and was level with Aswan on 2nd March.
The other colours are black storks, also heading back to Estonia.
Sue C. About time. I was wondering if they were ever going to move! I was looking at that site yesterday and wondering when it would be updated.

SueC : Thanks for the update on Erika. I notice that last year she left her wintering place on 23/02 but did not arrive at her nest until 12/04. I seem to remember she had a long stopover.

Yes she is a bit of a slow coach.
