Fears oldest osprey may never return to Dunkeld

THE UK’s oldest breeding osprey, who defied all the odds by fledging her 50th chick this summer, has left her nesting site in Highland Perthshire for what may be her last annual migration to Africa.
Story & beautiful picture here:

Now is the male? I haven't really watched this year so I don't know who I'm looking at.

Kittenface, it was female youngster BlueYZ with darvic band at left leg.

Preparing for Migration - Posted on August 30, 2013 by jonathan

Today has been great for observing migrating ospreys with four males & one juvenile spotted. Our male osprey brought a brown trout to the nest just before 10.00hrs which Blue YZ promptly claimed. She ate part of the fish on the nest before flying to the Skeleton Tree. It was wonderful to watch her expertly manoeuvring the fish in flight. The male has been shuffling sticks at the nest. This is usual behaviour in the days prior to departure on migration but he spent most of the afternoon preening on the Flat Top Tree...

I wish them all a safe journey.

Migratory birds are simply awesome! The amazing distances they cross, the knowledge about when and where to go . . . breathtaking.

It seems that BlueYZ has gone south and only Dad is still around

Blue YZ on her way!

Posted on September 6, 2013 by Jonathan

Exciting news – Blue YZ has begun her maiden migration! We downloaded the latest batch of satellite data this morning to discover she had departed yesterday morning and spent her first night away from Loch of the Lowes on the Isle of Man.

Quote:

Between 10 and 11am she headed SSE to Dhu Loch, a small loch a couple of miles from Loch of the Lowes which she had visited on previous days. From there she headed SW and by 12pm she was 10km (6 miles) to the north east of Crieff. By 1pm she had left Perthshire altogether, crossing over the River Forth to the SE of Stirling.

Blue YZ continued to make good progress throughout the rest of the afternoon, travelling due south through Lanarkshire, and by 5pm had reached the coast of Dumfries & Galloway, midway between Wigtown & Kirkcudbright. Continuing SW out into the Irish Sea she passed over the north coast of the Isle of Man between 6 and 7pm, roosting for the night in trees in a steep sided valley.

Sunday 8th September: Blue YZ gets her passport

Posted on September 8, 2013 by rangeremma

11am

Morning all

I've just downloaded the satellite tracking data and thought you'd like to know that Blue YZ was in the north of Spain at 7am this morning. She made landfall in the woods near the town of Linero in the Principality of Asturias after an 18 hour flight across the Bay of Biscay. I'll write a full blog with pics later on today after I've uploaded the data to the website.
