Update on Red8T, Morven , both we have discussed above and Rothiemurchus who was yesterday heading for Marrakesh in Morocco, there were no details of his latest movements at time of writing. If Rothiemurchus were to find a mate, we could be looking at a chance of a late brood. I wonder what surprises...

RD is reporting from Mallorca. Red 8T no data confirmed by RD, impossible to say what went wrong, unless arrival at nest site is confirmed, that he is safe. I would like believe that since he is a very strong migrator, with great stamina, he is OK. Morven is home, sighted at nest, this afternoon,...

Update of the info posted above. Morven's sighting has made me wonder if she still has the sat-pack fitted, hence the sightings? Beatrice is near Bordeaux, Red 8T may be sheltering from rain and Rothiemurchus is a lazy boy, is he a 'teenager' now, cannot come home when he is supposed to...

RD reports that sadly Fiddich has been killed, either by a fishing net or caught, signals coming from a village. Also updates on, Caledonia, Blue YD, Beatrice, Fearna, Red 8T and Rothiemurchus.

Blue YD update from blog issued today. Settled on the Senegal coast, blog shows nice image of his life there, clear evidence of fishing in the shallow? water and waves. Also Beatrice , River Adour; Red 8T , south of Rabat; Rothiemurchus , staying put.

Updates on, Blue YD, Fearna, Fiddich, Red 8T and Rothiemurchus .

VAP team's sightings and update on RD's birds.

Update on RD's birds , except Morven and an update also on Blue YD .

Happy New year to all. I got back from France, after a great time celebrating in style. Here is an update of all the birds except Morven, who is still travelling I hope, but in secret. I had my first experience of TomTom (GPS) taking control of my return, with a major deviation, after leaving Eurotunnel...

Update of RD's birds, Aigan, Beatrice, Fearna, Fiddich (9th), Red8T and Rothiemurchus.

Update below for all except Morven (with the faulty tracker). I remain optimistic about Blue 44, since all the information we have has not shown us any evidence of something sinister. I like to believe that he has a faulty transmitter, or has lost it in some way, possibly while fishing.

Ceulan is back, except that he was there all the time, now Blue 44 has gone quiet. Update on all, except Morven with a failure of the tracking sender.

Updates for Blue 44, Blue YD , (both no change), Aigan, Beatrice, Fearna, Fiddich and Red 8T, Rothiemurchus, Ceulan, who are all settled.

Updates as below.

Updates as follows. Aigan, Beatrice, Red 8T, Rothiemurchus, Ceulan are all giving good data. However Fearna, Fiddich and Morven (existing problem) are not giving the normal quality of data to track their movements in detail. Ceulan latest position.

Alba - on small island * Caledonia - North East sector of Seville hinterland Blue 44 - possible sighting with dad, if true, a first time this event has been witnessed on migration. Fiddich - in the desert Morven - news awaited since 8th, dodgy transmitter Red 8T - by now he should be home...

Update of Aigan, Fearna, Fiddich, Red 8T and Rothiemurchus. Fiddich set off on the 8th and is still in Scotland at Dunblane, just in time to celebrate with all Andy Murray's fans, family and friends! :o)

RD has some updates that I will do tomorrow. here they are:- Aigan Fearna Morven Red8T Rothiemurchus

Update on Roy D's web-site this morning "4th April. Beatrice should squeeze round the snowy mountains today; Red 8T reached Isle of Wight last evening. Rothiemurchus still put."

Further update on Rothiemurchus on Roy D's site. He had been on Deeside near Balmoral prior to this move. "On August 5th he set off south and flew over the centre of Edinburgh after 1pm and headed staright for Glentress, Peebles where he spent the night. Next day he flew on south and...
