Another very readable current tracking report is at http://www.rspb.org.uk/ospreytracking - an RSPB report on the southerly progress of two of Loch Garten's Osprey chicks (named Nethy and Deshar) on their autumn migration. Both chicks have been fitted with a state-of-the-art satellite transmitter, allowing their every move to be tracked. Regards, Freddy |

It really is fascinating and gripping stuff tracking these birds of prey south on their autumn migration with regular satellite fixes. Specimen reports: (Roy Dennis) 3rd October - Honey Buzzard 21250 : "Was in the western flanks of the Anti-Atlas Mountains, heading for Imzilene, 60 kms SE of Agadir, MOROCCO". (plus map) (RSPB) 3rd October - Osprey 'Nethy':2200hrs - "Flying at 65kph at an altitude of 357m almost due S on a course of 187 degrees. She has just passed the SE coast of the Mediterranean island of Formentera and is 220kms from the Algerian coast". (plus map) All in all, a marvel of modern technology. Regards, Freddy |
