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

Good morning all, Clare thankyou for the link to the photo of Blue XD, what a beauty he is! Ive just been reading the other link about Blue XD past migration to West Africa in 2001/02 and the amazing story of him being blown out to the Atlantic and his survival!
Tiger, thank you for the link to BlueXD past migrations.Amazing journeys he has made!
Absolutely stunning photo of him
It does seem that Blue XD's partner Green J is being tracked again.
This is really interesting news!

I think that there must be something more to this. I have my own ideas as to what it might be but I will wait until Roy announces it.
Perhaps he wants to find out if they winter together in Portugal? :) Wonder has he tracked any juveniles this year?
I will keep open minded until the reasons have been published. A chick taken for translocation. Blue XD tracked and Green J. This nest has done enough for tracking and translocation. I wait with interest as to the reasons why.
I too have my ideas as to why he has done this.
Perhaps we shall soon need a page for Green J ?
