Maybe I misunderstood, I thought I read that Alan said he was lucky he went yesterday, because today, they, all three had gone or may have gone? Not sure now.
EDIT: I think I have the nests mixed up. I'll go and stand in the corner for 5 mins!!! :o(
Oh Ferana flew right past Ilfracombe a place where I spent a holiday once. I visited Lynton too (There is an amazing story of a lifeboat rescue at Lynmouth in 1899)
Here is what Alan said
Maybe Rothiemurchus found a good fishing place ! and knows he's good for a good meal along the coast somewhere
Is Ceulan going to fly over the Bay of Biscay tonight? He has already started the crossing, which on his last known bearing would make landfall on the north coast of Spain.
Bay of Biscay tonight animated wind chart, any sailors are welcome to comment. Ceulan has a tail wind, but he needs to keep a southerly bearing, as the further west he heads, the wind will take him on a more westerly bearing which would be too far, with the obvious risk.
B of B wind
Use the buttons to pause the graphics.
A more positive comment is that the wind strength in the B of B itself, is forecast at approx 15 knots.
Sandra has just posted this.
09(98) yet to migrate.
The following courtesy of 'Rutland Water'............
"With the Manton Bay family all heading south, the last Osprey left in Rutland is 09(98). Last year he started his migration on 2nd September, but he appears in no hurry to leave this year, despite the fact that its now two weeks since his family departed. Yesterday evening he was perched on Lagoon 4 - which has become a favourite perching spot recently.
As soon as 09 does leave, we’ll be posting regular updates on his migration. His satellite transmitter is on a three day transmission cycle with the next batch of data due in tomorrow. I wonder if he will still be in Rutland? Watch this space."
How long will it be before he makes a move, the weather forecast for the UK is good for the next few days!!
Aigan, on the Vendee coast, France. Will update in a few hours.
