30 speeds up – 1000km in two days! - By Tim on March 20, 2015

After a slow start to her migration, the latest satellite data shows that in the last two days 30 has made much better progress and now has Europe firmly in her sights. Non-GPS locations showed that last night she roosted on a wooded hillside close to the village of Douar Aghrame, just 70 miles south of the Strait of Gibraltar.

Having roosted close to Western Sahara-Mauritania border on the night of 17th March, 30 resumed her migration shortly before 9am. Not long afterwards she crossed the border into neighbouring Algeria. By 1pm she had covered 158 kilometres and was flying north at an altitude of 550 metres at 39kph. She was now clearly determined to make up for lost time. By 6pm she had covered a further 230 kilometres, but she showed no signs of letting up. She headed powerfully over the Anti-Atlas Mountains and at 10pm was at an altitude of 270 metres. Conditions must have been good for migration because she continued flying until after midnight, not settling to roost until the very early hours of 19th March after a day's flight of a staggering 740 kilometres.

The Sahara may have been behind her, but yesterday morning 30 had to tackle the high peaks of the Atlas Mountains. She set-off at first light and by 7am had already flown 26 kilometres north. After a brief rest at 8am – perhaps waiting for the weather to clear – she approached the highest peaks shortly after 9am. The hour-by-hour data does not show her exact path through the mountains but she is likely to have flown through a mountain pass near the village of Tighermin to avoid the high peaks of over 3500 metres.

By 10am she was clear of the mountains and she continued to make steady progress north for the rest of the day, passing Fes at 2:30pm. Unlike the previous day she flew only until dark, before settling to roost on the forested hillside near Douar Aghrame having covered 333 kilometres during the day.

As the map below shows, 30's route over the past three days has taken her much further east than previous migrations. Westerly winds are the most likely explanation, but now she is in northern Morocco she is well and truly back on track.

30 now has Europe firmly in her sights, but the weather forecast for the Strait of Gibraltar is for rain today. It may be that she will need to spend an extra day in Africa. We’ll have to wait and see.

High definition live stream from the Manton Bay nest

We’re currently waiting for the first Osprey to return to Rutland! Last year, the Manton Bay female, Maya, arrived on 17th March. Her mate of the previous four years failed to return and instead Maya spent summer 2014 with a young male Osprey, 33(11). Hopes are high that they will breed together for the first time this year.

Check the News area of this site for the latest developments around the reserve. Check Centre Info for all visitor information.

Resident Male Returns - Posted on March 22, 2015 by charlotteranger

Quote:
We are delighted to announce that at 5.38am this morning the resident male returned to the nest at Loch of the Lowes. Having been observed fishing on the loch the previous night, he arrived back at the eyrie in the early hours and immediately began housekeeping duties. He left at 6.18am and has since reappeared briefly at the nest at 7.28am...

The Rain in Spain - By Kayleigh Brookes on March 23, 2015

Quote:
It's the first day of World Osprey Week! 30(05) graced us with her return on the first day of WOW last year (which was 24th March). However, this year she is going to make us wait a little longer!

We didn't know what to expect 30(05)'s position to be today, after previous data showed that she had travelled 1,000km (621 miles) in two days, and on Saturday she travelled a further 327km (203 miles). As she was making such good progress, it was possible that by yesterday evening she could have already been in Southern France.

However, as of this morning, 30(05) is still in Spain. Yesterday she travelled only 240km (149 miles).

We took a look at the weather maps and the reason for 30's slow progress is due to bad weather over Spain, in particular heavy rain. As you can see from the maps below, the forecast is not good today, or tomorrow, which means that she is unlikely to make significant progress until later in the week, when the forecast looks better.

Yesterday 30 set out just after 6am and headed north. After about 115km (70 miles), she turned sharply eastwards instead of continuing on the heading she was on. This is good news because, had she continued to travel due north, she would have had to cross the Bay of Biscay. As it was she flew quite sedately eastwards at a speed of about 20kph (12mph) and came to roost 121km (75 miles) north of Madrid.

30 roosted near a large reservoir called Embalse de Linares del Arroyo. She arrived there at 4pm yesterday, and there she stayed for the rest of the afternoon, probably fishing and seeing out the bad weather. She roosted just west of Maderuelo.

30(05) battles on - By Kayleigh Brookes on March 25, 2015

Quote:
30(05) continues to make fairly slow progress through Spain. She has only travelled a total of about 223 km (140 miles) in two days (Monday and Tuesday). Her route can be seen on the map below.

As you can see, 30 was making her way northwards, then suddenly doubled back and began heading south/south-east. She was forced to re-think her movements due to bad weather along the route she was on. Our friend Xarles Cepeda, from the Urdaibai Bird Centre, sent us the following update on the weather in that region:

"I have followed the path of the Osprey and the u-turn back that she did yesterday can be for the heavy rain that we had here. I think that today she will advance a lot of kilometres because the weather has got better at mid-morning. We have a sunny day at last! We will be hoping for her."

At her northernmost point, 30 was only 40 miles from Urdaibai when she turned back.

30 spent yesterday afternoon at a reservoir called Embalse de Gonzalez Lacasa. Perhaps she had seen this as she flew north and decided to head there for respite from the weather. She went fishing in the reservoir, then roosted on its shore last night.

Love scenes - By Kayleigh Brookes on March 25, 2015
Quote:
As Tim mentioned in yesterday’s update, another Osprey has returned to Rutland! 03(97)’s mate has now joined him at Site B, four days later than last season. This female has been breeding with 03 since 2009, and they have raised 14 chicks together. It’s fantastic that she is back! Here are a couple of photographs John Wright took of her at her nest.

30 gets closer to home - By Tim on March 27, 2015
Quote:
A look at the weather maps in Europe shows that we shouldn’t be too worried that Maya still isn’t back at the Manton Bay nest. France and Spain have been very wet over the past few days and it will certainly have held many Ospreys – and other summer migrants – up as they head north. One of the birds that we know has been delayed - she is now several days later than last year – is 30(05). The latest satellite data shows that at 14:00 this afternoon she was flying north through the western part of France, 100km north-east of La Rochelle.

Although we are still waiting for some data to come through, we now know that she crossed the border from Spain into France on Wednesday afternoon. That evening she roosted beside a small lake, 13km east of the town of Dax, after a day’s flight of 221km from the La Rioja region of Spain. As in previous migrations she passed well to the east of our friends at the Urdaibai Bird Center in the Basque Country.

Over the course of the past two days 30 has made slow but steady progress along the west coast of France; roosting to the north of Bordeaux on Thursday evening and then continuing north past La Rochelle today. Quite when she makes it back to the UK depends on the weather over the next few days. The forecast looks very unsettled and so it may be that she will not arrive back in Rutland until Monday or Tuesday next week. We should get another update from her transmitter over the weekend – so watch this space!

Much further south, another Osprey from the UK is also heading north. Roy Dennis has just received the latest data from Blue XD’s transmitter and it shows that the Scottish Osprey has made it across the Sahara. The track below is from 16:13 to 17:42 this afternoon when he covered 65 km north-north-east. The data for the last 5 days will be slowly downloaded through the system (Blue XD has a GSM transmitter) and this will show his route over the Sahara Desert. He now has the Atlas Mountains in his sights. Thanks to Roy for the update.

The winner revealed - By Kayleigh Brookes on March 28, 2015
Quote:
It has finally happened – the first Osprey has landed on the Manton Bay nest! We all expected that the first Osprey on the nest this season would be Maya, the resident female. Last season this was indeed the case – she arrived on her nest on 17th March. This season has been different, however. It was not Maya who landed on the nest – she is still not back. There is no need to be concerned just yet, as we know the weather on the Ospreys’ migration pathway has been inclement to say the least.

So who was it who landed on the nest yesterday? Tim revealed the answer in his update - it was 5N(04). 5N is a breeding female who has been back in Rutland for about a week, and is still waiting for her partner to return and join her at her nest site. She also visited the Manton Bay nest last season, along with several other breeding females looking around at other nests.

5N was the first Rutland-fledged Osprey to breed, and it was the Manton Bay nest on which she bred for that first year – 2007. She moved to another site after the failure of her nest in 2008.

Le voyage lent - By Kayleigh Brookes on March 29, 2015
Quote:
30(05) is still in France! Since she roosted near the River Charente on 26th March, she has only travelled 209km (130 miles). On 27th March she left her roost site just after 8am and flew across the city of Saintes. She then headed north-east, travelling at speeds of about 30kph (18mph), until she reached the town of Le Chardonnet, where she roosted that night, having travelled roughly 139km (86 miles). The next day, 28th March, she set off at about 7am and, at speeds of 17kph (10mph), she continued north-east for a further 68km (42 miles), then settled down to roost again.This shows us that 30's path is still not trouble-free, and she is struggling to make any significant progress. The reason for this is similar to the problems she met in Spain – rain. As you can see from the map below, the weather on the northern coast of France looks bad for today, so perhaps she will remain where she is for the time being, and continue when the weather improves.
Image
Quote:
The conditions look a little bit better on Monday, so hopefully 30 will be able to make more progress northwards. She has another 565km (350 miles) to go to reach Rutland. The weather has really affected the speed of her return this year – she is already a week behind the time it took her to get home last spring, which was an amazing eleven days! We are looking forward to her arrival in the next couple of days.
