The data is in and yesterday (1st October) Rothes continued south down the coast of Mauritania reaching Diawling National Park by 6pm. As of 10pm (the last point I have) that's where she was, having explored the area a bit. She has slowed down a bit, but is still covering a good distance each day. It'll be interesting to see where she gets to by Monday when I next put the data in.
Mallachie is still in Portugal, continuing with her daily pattern of moving between the two reservoirs. Perhaps this weekend she'll move on?
Meanwhile at Abernethy it's been drizzling/raining most of the day, and looks set to be similar or wetter most of the weekend. However it just makes it feel a bit more autumnal - very different from the weather in Mauritania I'll bet.
More next week.
Thank you very much Alice for the update and once again it is good news. Looks like she is in a good area and heading in the right direction. Maybe Mallachie will winter in Portugal as other ospreys have done previously.
Cheers Alice. It's all good news. Look forward to the update on Monday.
wish I was in Mauritania. this , after yesterday, horrible. Mallachie will soon follow I'm sure.
Have a good weekend all.
Thanks, Alice, continued good news. Enjoy your weekend everyone!
Oh brilliant. Thanks Alice.
Thanks Alice ...looks a good place for her to stay and be safe.
Thanks Alice for the update
have a good weekend everyone
Thanks Alice - That's a pretty huge distance she's covered in a short time!
Thank you so much Alice. Looking at maps and hoping Rothes takes Richard's advice and settles in DNP. Enjoy your weekend everybody and take care in tomorrows rain and gales.
Thanks Alice for the update. And as Brenda says keep safe this weekend!!
Thanks Alice still good news about Rothes and Mallachie, although she seems rather fond of where she is at the moment. Have a good weekend and look forward to Monday for an update. Terrible isn't it wishing our lives away like this. Keep safe in the awful weather you are getting or going to get.
Great news, Alice. Good for Rothes. Have a great weekend everyone!
Good news about Rothes, for which many thanks Alice. I'm personallly happy for Mallachie to keep practising her fishing skills and putting on weight fo the journey.
Have a great weekend yourself, Sheila :)
Thanks Alice - and welcome back after the wasp incident. Hope your weekend up there is not too rough - wind seems to be subsiding here in SW Scotland - and now sunny too.
Sounds as if the girls are both in good fishing areas - excellent news.
Hi everybody. Thanks Alice for the input. I am catching up on where the girls are after a week away in North Yorkshire. Do hope you have receoved from your wasp incident, I was sitting in the conservatory the other week and had a visitor (wasp) which stung me on the thumb but I lived to tell the tale, hm!!!!!!!!!!!
It looks like at last Rothes is making her way to her African resting place and that Mallachie hopefully will not be long in joining her.
Hope everyone on the site is OK
