Satellite tracking the 2 Osprey chicks from the RSPB's Loch Garten site has shown that the juv female (Nethy) has, in the last day or so flown directly over Bailiff Bridge and Brighouse (Armitage Industrial Estate)heading due south. Any Brighouse birders see her going over!!!?)
The latest update position is she is now near Cheltenham and her male sibling (Deshar)is on the south coast. We have not been able to get a time fix (or height of flight)on the web-site.
You can get an update (with a link to google earth)at http://www.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/tracking/lochgartenospreys/index.asp

Great stuff Dave, thanks for the link. I remember something similar was done last year with Honey Buzzards do you know if this is still going on?
Interesting Stuff Dave,
I have posted the info and a link to your message on my Visible Migration page although I think we missed this one as it passed over the whole length of the Bradford area!!
Many Thanks,
Dave Barker
Hi
I can supply a bit more information about Deshar's journey through Yorkshire airspace. The tags record data every hour.
Friday 22 August
12pm: north of Wensley, 54.30583,-1.85883 (altitude 636m, speed 41kph)
1pm: Stainburn, 53.932,-1.60617 (509m, 57kph)
2pm: Streethouse, 53.67833,-1.40933 (293m, 50kph)
3pm: Langold, 53.37333,-1.1385 (731m, 39kph)
He went to roost near Little Gidding in Cambridgeshire by 7pm.
His sister, 'Nethy', also passed through Yorkshire before bearing west:
Friday 22 August
9am: Ilton, 54.2015,-1.69717 (420m, 45kph)
10am: Burley in Wharfedale, 53.91333,-1.76767 (393m, 47kph)
11am: Netherthong, 53.58417,-1.78 (285m, 18kph)
She ended her day at Combrook in Warwickshire.
You can also see the birds' routes in Google Earth. Check out: www.rspb.org.uk/ospreytracking
Thanks

Hi Dave, Nick etal
Katie at the RSPB has picked up my posting and has in turn posted a comment giving full details of date and times when Nethy, and her brother passed over our part of Yorkshire see the comment on:
http://vismig.blogspot.com/2008/08/loch-garton-osprey-over-bradford.html
for full details.
Best Wishes,
Dave
Thanks Dave (and Katie at the RSPB) for following that up for us. This information really gets you hooked. Now we know about all the birds we have missed seeing!!
Not only do we suffer "real" dips, now we can have virtual ones as well!
Nick - if you look on RD's website: Highland Foundation for Wildlife there is a symbol over the photo of a honey buzzard which says yes, tracking is going on. Click on the photo of the bird and more info will follow.
