The migration is well under way, so here is a list of birds to follow, with the latest position as I know it, from websites.....the list may be incomplete, so if you can please help, add any tagged ospreys that we can follow. So far in 2007, 2008 and 2009, we have not had any simultaneous fixes, I.E. two birds in the same place at the same time. Although visual sightings have been made of pairs or groups of ospreys.
RSPB, Mallachie, Sept 3rd, Hewell HM Prison, near Tardebigge, assuming she stayed there until this morning.
RSPB, Rothes, Dr Jones' sturgeon farm, Saint-Fort-sur-Gironde, Sept 2nd. (both as per this diary entry).
HFW, (Roy Dennis), Beatrice, Malagon, Spain, on the move, 11AM, 2nd Sep.
HFW, Talisman, fishing at Findhorn Bay, 1st Sep.
HFW, Nimrod, fishing at Culbin Bars, 1st Sep.
HFW, Morven, flying from Caithness in direction of Findhorn Bay, 1st Sep.
If past experience is followed, then Beatrice should over-winter at Guadiaro river which is 340 kilometres further on. Nimrod from memory was in Senegal and Guinea-Bissau last year and had a favourite river with mudflats and Morven was on the Atlantic coast, in Mauritania and appeared to be spending every night in the desert. There were no trees where she was, so she was either on the ground or up on some rocks. Have I missed anyone? There may be some Scandinavian tagged birds this year.

Xalbai - superb photos, thank you so much.
A very happy Squirrel x
The necessity of bird-watching is a really good reason for avoiding all forms of housework.
The dust will still be there tomorrow - the birds may not be!
Xalbai: And a very big Merci! from a blogger in Southern California for your wonderful photos. We've been watching Mallachie since she was in the egg!
xalbai - Merci beaucoup pour votre photographies de Mallachie. Ils sont magnifiques.
xalbai THANK YOU very much for the additional photos of Mallachie. Your photos are so clear and beautiful. They are fantastic..
Please, please let us know if you see her catching or eating a fish. Our girl needs to eat to keep up her strength.

Hi Xalbai, La probleme de la peche avec Mallachie, commence avec le temps, quand normalement on s'attend les oiseaux essayer explorer le monde, les parents sont peut-etre trop genereux avec les poissons. Elle doit apprendre maintenant, l'expertise pour obtenir une nourriture saine. Aussi quand elle etait petite, elle n'etait pas la une qui cherche a se faire valoir. Mais je pense qu'elle est bien equipe pour son migration, parce qu' elle a depasser sa soeur, Rothes, qui a quitte de Loch Garten le 9 d'Aout et elle a reste la, jusqu'a midi le 29 d'Aout.
