Great news. 1H has survived for over a year and should be heading north in the spring. See Kielder timeline

The highs and the lows of Osprey watching, to hear such exciting news as this from Kielder, then we have the low of reading the blog from LotL.

Great news Joanna, and it reveals something interesting.
Back in late February this year, Loch Garten's Caledonia (a 2012 chick like 1H) was photographed in Spain by an osprey expert, Roberto, who supplied this analysis of her moulting of her primary feathers.
Frederic's photo of 1H shows her with her "primary 10" feathers partially regrown, meaning that she is about to complete the moult into her first set of adult feathers - also right on schedule.
Edit - have changed "he" to "she" - 1H was thought to be female at ringing, and has a dark breast band now.
Yes indeed. Brilliant news! :)
ChloeB & Tiger's Osprey Data
If I had asked you earlier this year would you have expected three of your previous chicks to be sighted this year I think you would have settled and have been delighted for one to be spotted.
Well done to this project and your team.
You're right, Keith. It has been a very wonderful year at Kielder with today's news putting the 'very' in this sentence!
