Tiger< Keith, look here at 2002 www.zen88810.zen.co.uk/.../Transloc%20Results.htm

Fantastic. Well done. How could I forget Orange ZT?

He is the disabled osprey that paired up with the 99 (01) at Piper Dam  back in 2002 (?)

So a Rutland Water connection.

Here you are. The story of Orange ZT

How great are the darvics?!

jaydee - I agree, it's so exciting when these birds are spotted!

Also see here

Starling : Thanks for that. This is most interesting :

"In 2002 01(99) was observed on an artificial nest at Piperdam near Dundee and bred succesfully. She returned to the same site in April 2003 and laid three eggs. all of which survived. In 2004 she laid two eggs and raised two chicks with the same male as the previous year , orange ZT. However, in 2005, like many other adult Ospreys, she failed to return."

But where is orange ZT from, presumably a Scottish bird as left leg colour ring?

So another osprey back from the "dead"

I thought he was dead all these years

I am lost - When was Orange ZT born at Rutland or translocated in 1998 or any other year.

I have all the birds listred for RW and can not find Orange ZT connection with RW.
