I guess that Blue XD is now set to be part of Loch Garten History. He deserves a page by himself.
Do people have data on his exact arrival time and some videos and pictures.
There has been a blog regarding him here on 28 Mar 2012 5:56 PM
There is still confusion as to his identity but he is said to be the long term partner of Green J or otherwise known as S06
So Blue/White XD may be S18 but there are certain problems with that.
S06 and S18 also parented a chick translocated to Rutland viz. T04
I wrote about Green J here on 3 March 2012

Another one safely back. I do hope that Green J is sighted at her reservoir,
Update on Blue XD from Roy Dennis
Blue XD has been visiting the Atlantic coast from his mangrove wintering site – quite busy wanderings instead of staying in the same area, which is his usual winter routine.

So long as he is safe ... and surely not getting the worst of any pecking order. Thanks for posting the info SHEILA

Blue XD is one of the most experienced of males.
He has likely moved because of a weather problem.
Ah, thanks TIGER . Should have thought of that

I am slightly nervous on his comment Tiger in the last sentence.
