Garten

Garten was inside the third and last egg to be laid in 2009, on 22 April. She hatched on 26 May. Her parents are White EJ and 'Odin'.

When she was ringed, she weighed 1.7 kg and had a wing length of 325 mm.

Garten doesn't have a satellite tag but she does have a colour-ring - white with a black 'PH'. If she's spotted anywhere, someone using a telescope will be able to read the letters and report her whereabouts.

Keep an eye out for any birds with leg rings - you can send in the details to www.ring.ac and find out about 'your' bird!

Super picture of the one that has become my favorite. Unlike her sisters who will be tracked I will just have to play the waiting game.

My favourite chick! Hope I will be able to see her return to Loch Garten in the future. As Wendyb wrote, she has no tagging so we have no way of tracking her whereabouts :( Mallachie will always remember you. For a ration of fish, you forgot your good manners :)

What a beautiful photo - Garten certainly has a willful look about her. For all she is the youngest of the brood, she stood her ground and has really grown showing incredible determination.

Full of character, reminds me of dear Nethy.  Fly straight and strong young Garten and we hope to see you back in Scotland in a few years.

Garten, you left yesterday and I already miss you! Have a safe journey and come back in a couple of years to meet a nice Prince Osprey and have lots of beautiful chicks :-) You were our little one, sometimes left without food, and now you are a fighter, a survivor. Bon Voyage!
