hi alba, yes ... he was jumping up and down when I saw him yesterday early but seems he took off and is roosting in trees, parents are with him so it's all to be expected and they should come back to the nest to feed but haven't so far
The osprey chick is missing. He has not returned to the nest and they are all out looking for him. Hopefully,they will be able to trace him on the satellite tag today.
sorry to report no sightings as yet - the parents have been back to the nest and seemingly aren't too alarmed [ I'd be out of my mind, but then I'm not a bird !! ] - the rangers are hoping to get a satellite fix on him later today ...so far their info is telling them he's been moving which has to be good but so far no sign of him
I can't believe they've gone thru all of this to lose him now, but fingers are still crossed ... I'm turning in soon hope for better news tomorrow
They have some better news on the blog tonight.
The satellite shows he has been moving about and the parents are staying close to where they team think he is and possibly feeding him. The rangers and volunteers haven't actually found him but they are all feeling a bit better this evening.
well the news is brighter but still no sign of the traveler - the rangers have tracked him moving about in one area with parents sticking close by - hopefully they'll all make it back to the nest before long !!
