This Topic has been set up to follow the Autumn 2012 migration and wintering of satellite tracked ospreys, other than Caledonia and Alba from Loch Garten, who are followed on this thread, Tracking Caledonia & Alba
This topic replaces Satellite Tracked Ospreys (non-LG) Mar-Aug 2012
N.B. There are still some missing details (and possibly birds) which I will add once the information becomes available.
Ceulan and BlueYD now 51.98 miles apart:
Some good news about Piret:
"just today got some data about Piret. She was/is out of GSM network area and that seems to be problem for to show the locations. Border area between two Sudan countries... there are probably some other problems more important as GSM coverage.
Will update migration map in first possibility."
Thank you thank you thank you!

Ilmari from Finland update. No change:
Latest from Urmas:
"Thats all depends on Piret herself, likes she to be near human settlements or not. Probably safer is to be away and return safely back in spring time. The area, she is now, seems to be strange place in South Sudan. In Google maps there are visible several large scale fires on landscape...
Inserted whole November data to migration map about Piret, these were received only now. But still missing are 8 days of October, since 22nd.
Let's hope the soon data about Latvian Eriks, as well!
Ilzes transmitter has not moved up to 28th, so nobody has been there. But no newer data today."
A quick drop in as I follow but rarely post, but have to say a big thank you to Alan for your frequent updates - I especially enjoy the comparison ones between Blue YD and Ceulan etc., and also to Jsb for your tireless hard work in updating and adding to your spreadsheet, including the information on transmitters and the link to the site. It really is appreciated:-)))
