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.

Beautiful photos of our precious Mallachie: thank you very much, Xalbai :-) It is so good to see her again. We have been following the nest since EJ, her mother, arrived, and then her 3 eggs becoming 3 beautiful female Ospreys :-) You have made all of us so happy :-))
Thank you xalbai for the last of your photographs of Mallachie....they are superb, so clear and sharp.
Good luck with your photography....it was such a good idea to set up the dead wood perch as ospreys certainly seem to favour these, if they have a choice.
Have to add my thanks to you, for such wonderful pictures and news of one of our 'special' birds. We are, as you can see, all so very grateful to you. Happy birdwatching.
