FR4s' route leads her in approx. 15 km distance from the west coast of Morocco,

so she must see the shores and can make landfall whenever she has to...

Comparison of 2015 Migration routes FR4 and Rutlands adult female 30:

It seems FR4 is following the route of an well experienced adult osprey!

Look at the line and you will know where FR4 is going to find her winter resort...

A personal best - By Kayleigh Brookes on September 12, 2015

We finally have some more data from 30(05)’s satellite-transmitter, detailing the final part of her migration! On Thursday, Tim reported that she was almost there – she only had 112km (70 miles) left to go. We are happy to report that she made it safely to her wintering grounds on the evening of 10th September. She travelled a total of 162km (101 miles) on her final day of migrating. The next morning (11th September), 30’s position indicated she was sitting on her favourite perch!

Quote:

This autumn, 30 has indeed set a record. Her 2015 autumn migration took her a total of 264 hours – 3 hours quicker than last year (and the year before)!

She spent 137 of her 264 hours actually flying, which works out as almost 52% of her time! She migrated a total of 4412km (2928 miles), averaging 401km (266 miles) per day.

Quote:

We have mentioned before how we’re amazed by the ability of Ospreys to find their way to their wintering grounds, then remember the way they went and follow a similar route every year. Here is a map which serves to perfectly demonstrate this – it shows the route 30 took on each of her three autumn migrations. It’s remarkable how similar they are!

This brave youngster FR4 is doing a fantastic first migration:

400 km to go to the Mauretanian border and Senegal River! :smilehat:

He's not in a hurry yet, still cruising the borders of Charante & Dordogne. Maybe he likes Cognac...
