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

I have put some more Osprey Images from Gordon's aviemore hide but no idea which birds they are.
I have put some more Osprey Images from Gordon's aviemore hide in the photos section but no idea which birds they are.
I am slightly concerned that there has been no news of Blue XD since 13 January 2013
Oh fantastic. Blue XD is alive and well.
Blue XD still at winter quarters

Infidelity in birds. Who would believe it?
I would, Tiger. We've now been watching EJ the Beautiful for years and her dedication to breeding ahead of fidelity is impressive, even though it's obvious which male she prefers.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
On 18 March Blue XD started his migration north.
