Green J left her wintering site on 31st March and flew NNE from the Gabriel y Galan reservoir and headed for Salamanca and then after 220 km she roosted overnight by a small river south of Villarramall. Today, 1st April, she continued NNE and then north-east along the southern edge of the Cantabrian Mountains and at 1300 GMT was flying east to the south of Bilbao. At 15:00 hours she was 3 km south of Urdaibai estuary, where we are helping with the restoration of breeding ospreys to the Basque country. Our friend, Aitor, who is running the project reports 2 colour ringed adult ospreys from Scotland in the estuary today. Beatrice reached her roosting site for the night at 16:00 hours near Elgoibar.
First two days of migration 31st March and 1st April
