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
Tiger Signature
Hi Mims, somebody needs to show Blue XD the way to his own nest no stopping in at LG.
Mims, his signal must have kicked back in given the data on his journey on 24 March. Looking at Rutland site I think it took 30(05) about 8 days from this latitude (she was parallel with Canaries on 16 March). She was really going some by all accounts, plus XD has got farther to fly, so I don't think he's turning up in Scotland until 1st week April. If Odin is on his pre-2013 schedules, it's going to be a close run thing, but Odin the Magnificent could still pip him! But if he doesn't and Green J is still chilling down in Extremadura ... hmmm!

That's great news re his signal - thanks Chocoholix! As far as I'm aware GreenJ hasn't started out yet....so if he arrives at an empty nest, lets hope he's too busy fishing and very, very hungry - may give Odin and GreenJ precious time lol
Nailbiting!
IMAGICAT
I think poor old XD might not make it this year. He is still in Morocco. Even though he is putting in some amazing flying he is still a long way from the object of his desire. See The WOW race is on.
He does seem to be later this year, is that due to him being a pensioner or perhaps weather related or maybe he just can't face the trouble thst EJ causes in his life.

I think you have "Prayed too many prayers on him" as they would say in Ireland.
Well as long as he makes it back to his nest and green j soon everyone will be happy. Although green j seems to be in no rush either - do they know sonething about the summer that we are about to have (or not as the case may be) that we don't!
Well Blue XD is in Spain.
So BXD came to Europe.....
Work is keeping me busy today - so ducking in and out. Any update on HA please?
