It seems they think it 'commutes' there if you read the daily reports!.

You mean when it is not causing havoc with his net excursions!
The Blagdon site has been updated and apparently there were no Ospreys seen there last evening. Fingers crossed White YA has moved on.
Birdies LG DU update.
Not holding my breath just yet Mike :)

Let's hope so Chloe
Lets hope that White YA remains safe now. I have been wondering about his eyesight. Fishing nets are hard to see at the best of times, and it appeared he would be extra hungry due to weight loss, so perhaps this would affect his concentration. If his eyesight is less than it should be, this could account for him being underweight also - as well as the explanation several posts back due to the weather.
mims. I think you may be worrying unneccesarily. Reading the Blagdon site and looking at the photos it appears that he got UNDER the net, because they tried to DRIVE him out initially, and after the third go the fisheries staff put up a net to stop him or any one else getting under.
Thanks for updating me Mike. I only have limited time so rarely read blogs in depth - what a shinnanigins lol:-)
Mims, I found this link to a good photo of White YA under the netting. I think his eyesight is fine, the herbert found the only gap in the netting, between the upright fence and the pond. It's been fixed now.
