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

BlueXD had fallen off the front page, and we can't have that!

Blue XD arrives in the UK - Blue XD arrived in the UK on 7 April and was heading through Hampshire on 8th.
I was thinking how useful tracking can be at times. In 2012, Blue XD was first seen dallying with EJ on the same date, 28 March, as Manton Bay's 5R arrived back last year. If BlueXD wasn't being tracked we'd probably be looking at when he was seen previously and maybe fearing the worst. Just like we are worried about 5R. Yet, here we are, knowing that BlueXD is actually still fine and well, just taking it slowly and has been a bit hampered by poor weather. I quite like the knowing!
It doesn't tell us anything about 5R of course. Only time will tell on that one.

Any news of Green J ? please
Good thinking, CHOCO.
I've been hoping for updates on GreenJ too, CIRRUS. I wish this couple well... well away from LG ;-)
Yes news of all the birds here
and green J in particular.
Blue XD should be back at his nest tomorrow, which when I 'predict' EJ will lay her first egg! I hope he doesn't pop in to say hello to EJ!

Wonder if Yellow HA has made it home yet or still hedging his bets. Hope Morven gives him a ticking off!
