Blue Boy 44 is certainly giving the LoL Staff the run-around!!
Lots of good wishes to them, now that they have the satellite data and are trying to locate him.

Maybe he takes after his mother for adventurous genes.

The chick was brought back to the nest by Marge this morning, great news

Clever Mum!! She really is an amazing bird, and when we remember what she went through, it shows how resilient birds can be!

Redfinch · Saturday 4th August 2012, 19:20

Marge not seen all day today. Has she decided to go?

**delia todd** · Saturday 4th August 2012, 19:27

Hi Redfinch

I suppose it's quite likely, her job is done really.

Hopefully Tiger will be along soon with some Stats for us.

Well it is just right on schedule. Here are the stats for this and previous years.

2011 Lady left on 7th August
2010 Lady left on 4th August
2009 Lady left on 5th August
2008 Lady left on 26th July
2007 Lady left on 7th August

**delia todd** · Saturday 4th August 2012, 20:03

Thanks Tiger... I knew you'd come up with the info for us.

As you say, right on cue, really.

Let's hope she has a safe journey.

It means that even if I do manage to come, I shan't see her :-(

Redfinch · Sunday 5th August 2012, 19:55

I was looking for dates too. I knew it seemed to be around this time.

Always feel a bit of emptiness when she's leaves. God speed and safe travels, my Lady. We all will be anticipating your return. She sure leaves a beautiful, healthy chick and dad seems to be taking care of him the best he can.

You can find lots of osprey data here

Redfinch · Monday 13th August 2012, 20:37

Thank you, Tiger.

blue boy 44 is on the move

http://scottishwildlifetrust.org.uk/...to-do/osprey/#

**delia todd** · Monday 10th September 2012, 23:41

Thanks Kawwauser.

Strange I thought he was long gone LOL. It'll be interesting to follow his route, won't it.

**delia todd** · Wednesday 12th September 2012, 11:26

He's in Kent now!

**delia todd** · Friday 14th September 2012, 11:52

Gosh! Blue Boy is now in France having hopped across the Channel on a short to to Dieppe.

But the Angus chick (Blue YD) took the longer crossing from Plymouth to Brest and is now in the middle of the Bay of Biscay.

Is that route not a bit risky?

No not at all. Ospreys can fly vast distances over the ocean.

**delia todd** · Saturday 15th September 2012, 13:00

Thanks Tiger. I thought I'd heard a few had been downed over the bay. There's no news of him at the moment, but Blue Boy is well south now, probably in Spain.

There was one a long time ago that just fell short of the Spanish coast. They are often mobbed by gulls and other birds. The bird in question was T09 in 2000

**delia todd** · Sunday 16th September 2012, 13:51

Thanks Tiger - I knew you'd know the real story!

I looked at the map an hour ago and it hadn't been updated, but I see it has been now.

It looks like Blue Boy has stopped off for a rest, while Blue YD has made it to Spain, a bit of a relief, I must say.

Isn't it interesting following their different routes, though I suppose they'll both follow more or less the same direction from now on.

kawwauser · Monday 17th September 2012, 00:20

it will be interesting to see where blue yd sets up territory on his return ,the piperdam nestsite hasn,t been used for a couple of years

What do you mean by hasn't moved? No points or the tracker has stayed in the same place?
