Blue 44 has flown!

I missed the report of his leaving earlier this week, but if you are interested, you can follow his migration on this link. It's going to be fascinating to watch! http://scottishwildli.../things-to-do/osprey/

hi boxy - yes dad and son left within a day of each other last weekend, and son seems to be doing all the right things on his way thru France - great to be able to track him and see how he goes

Thanks boxy, I shall keep checking this. Interesting that one seems to have stayed over land mass and the other out to sea.

Thank you for posting Boxy. x

seekeerz, I think these pair are this year's chicks from two different sites, not father and chick. I'm sure you'll correct me if I'm wrong:-)

[seekeerz]

ladybirder - yes you're right about the satellite coverage showing the two birds making their way south, they are the two youngsters who were tagged this year - great for everyone to be able to track their progress.

but in my comment, I was referring to the 'father and son' combination from lowes, who did leave very close together - unfortunately we can't track 'dads' progress as well

[ladybirder]

Oh, OK thanks seekeerz. I shall be holding my breath for them all until they return safely.

[seekeerz]

unfortunately we've a long wait, haven't we

[ladybirder]

Yes we have but it will make it all the more exciting when they do return.
I'll say goodnight now, go to try and get some sleep.

[seekeerz]

ok, sleep well, and good night skz
