This thread has been set up to follow the travels of Caledonia and Alba, the young ospreys raised at Loch Garten in 2012.
Their mother is “EJ”, the resident female at Loch Garten since 2003; there is some doubt about the identity of their biological father, given EJ’s dalliance with a male from a neighbouring nest, Blue XD, both before and after the return of her regular partner Odin, who raised them.
Caledonia hatched on 16th May and Alba on 18th May; they both fledged on 14th July.
This is a link to the Loch Garten blog describing the ringing and satellite tagging.
Caledonia’s ring is Blue/White AA1, reading downwards. Alba’s is Blue/White AA2, reading upwards.
Following the tracking
This page gives a quick overview of the routes on a map, which will be more useful once they start migrating.
If you want to look at the routes in more detail on Google Earth, this page contains instructions on setting up your PC to do this.
This blog contains some useful information about how the tracking works – we are now on a 3-day reporting period.
Oh WOW WOW WOW. Briliant. Thank you ever so much Roberto.

Roberto - Thank you for the effort you have done for us all. This is magnificent and the best picture of Caledonia since she hatched.
She is looking very well indeed.
I agree with TIGER this is one of the most exciting things I have seen since following Ospreys.
Well I wonder who her female adult companion may be although you say she is unringed.

From an LG perspective, absolutely Tiger. I am surprised how elated I feel. Ridiculous. Although I have to say that hearing about Rothes at the sturgeon farm being seen by the manager was on a par. Was she (he) ever photographed though? I'm not sure.
