Post subject:  colour ringed juvenile Osprey
on September 10th a colour ringed juvenile Osprey was present all morning around Barton pits -- from photos it had a blue ring with AK in white on the left leg; enquiries from Roy Dennis revealed that he had actually ringed the bird as a juvenile female, one of two chicks, in a nest near Kincraig Highland on July 6th 2010 -- amazingly Ed Mackrill realised that Derrick Moslely had photographed the same bird flying south into the Wash at 11:27 (if the camera clock is correct) on August 28th 2010) I have posted one of Derrick's photos and one of mine from the two dates in the album -- at first sight a strange movement by a wandering juvenile but they can do odd things before they set off for their first cross channel flights and Roy's excellent web site shows the histories of several satellite tracked birds from Scotland -- thanks to Ed, Derrick and Roy Dennis for information on this bird

also other photos on my blog -- http://pewit.blogspot.com/2010/09/juvenile-osprey.html

an addition for the 2010 records -- did anyone actually see Spey on this day? --from Roy's log

14 September 2010

Spey roosted overnight by the River Derwent and was still there at 8am. By 10am he was in the Vale of York, flying south east 76km/hr to the east of Kirkby Underdale. At 11am he was flying SSE over at Cottingham golf club just on the north side of Hull. He crossed the Humber, flew on over Grimsby and at 1pm he was flying south over North Somercoates in Lincolnshire. At 2pm he was flying SSE at 50km/hr out over the Wash from Chapel St Leonards. At 3pm he was flying just off Scolt Head on the north Norfolk coast, and then headed inland. At 4pm he was flying south over Swanton Novers and by an hour later had settled in a wood just east of Horsford, and north of Norwich, where he roosted for the night. He flew 129 miles during the day

with a few recent reports of juvenile Ospreys at Barton I photographed one on 17th that appeared to be a new bird (still not sure) but one present 23rd turned out to have a blue ring on the left leg and although not 100% certain it looks like AK (chances of 2 blue ringed birds must be slim anyway) so if so she has been around Barton since at least 10th and in Lincs since August 28th -- Just shows how difficult it is to analyse how many individual raptors are the source of all the birds reported in any one year in an area the size of Lincs;

Blue AK showing well today -- superb bird but failing to catch any fish in the strong northerly winds that were creating waves on the pits
