Steady progress - By Kayleigh Brookes on March 18, 2015

30(05) continues to wing her way northwards, on a long journey that will lead her back to the place she calls home. Thankfully she managed to right her course after being blown too far west. As of yesterday afternoon, she is still in the Western Sahara, making her way towards Morocco.

On 15th March 30 travelled 210km (130 miles), and the next day she travelled a further 301km (187 miles). This shows us that she isn't making progress particularly quickly. Yesterday, her average speed was 21kph (13mph). However, she has had to contend with a bit of a headwind, as there have been some strong north-easterly winds which she is having to battle her way through.

Consequently, she is slightly behind where she was on this day last Spring. However, it's not a race and she knows perfectly well what she is doing. This is 30′s 9th migration north! As long as she gets back safely it does not matter how long it takes her to do it.

We should receive more data from 30's tracker tomorrow, and we will keep you updated with her progress. We will also update you with news of the migrations of the other WOW Ospreys soon!

We’re currently waiting for the first Osprey to return to Rutland! Last year, the Manton Bay female, Maya, arrived on 17th March. Her mate of the previous four years failed to return and instead Maya spent summer 2014 with a young male Osprey, 33(11). Hopes are high that they will breed together for the first time this year.

Check the News area of this site for the latest developments around the reserve. Check Centre Info for all visitor information.

The Rain in Spain - By Kayleigh Brookes on March 23, 2015

It's the first day of World Osprey Week! 30(05) graced us with her return on the first day of WOW last year (which was 24th March). However, this year she is going to make us wait a little longer!

We didn't know what to expect 30(05)'s position to be today, after previous data showed that she had travelled 1,000km (621 miles) in two days, and on Saturday she travelled a further 327km (203 miles). As she was making such good progress, it was possible that by yesterday evening she could have already been in Southern France.

However, as of this morning, 30(05) is still in Spain. Yesterday she travelled only 240km (149 miles).

We took a look at the weather maps and the reason for 30's slow progress is due to bad weather over Spain, in particular heavy rain. As you can see from the maps below, the forecast is not good today, or tomorrow, which means that she is unlikely to make significant progress until later in the week, when the forecast looks better.

Yesterday 30 set out just after 6am and headed north. After about 115km (70 miles), she turned sharply eastwards instead of continuing on the heading she was on. This is good news because, had she continued to travel due north, she would have had to cross the Bay of Biscay. As it was she flew quite sedately eastwards at a speed of about 20kph (12mph) and came to roost 121km (75 miles) north of Madrid.

30 roosted near a large reservoir called Embalse de Linares del Arroyo. She arrived there at 4pm yesterday, and there she stayed for the rest of the afternoon, probably fishing and seeing out the bad weather. She roosted just west of Maderuelo.
