\"Nos<\/a>The 2021 Osprey Project report has been published in the March 2022 edition of the journal Nos Oiseaux<\/em>. While only in French, this report outlines the highlights of last year. Now that the release phase of the project has finished, two birds reintroduced each year between 2016 and 2019 are so far known to have returned: 4 males in Switzerland, and 1 male plus 3 females in neighbouring countries. Two of these females bred successfully in 2021: Mouche<\/a> <\/em>in France (Moselle \u2013 with 2 fledged chicks) and Plume<\/em><\/a> in Germany (Bavaria \u2013 with 3 fledged chicks). Two males (Taurus<\/em>, for the third year, and Arthur<\/em><\/a>, for the second) held territories in Switzerland, with Taurus<\/em><\/a> forming a couple late in the summer with a German female ringed AB13. In addition, a \u201cmystery male\u201d summered in the Haut-Doubs not far from the French-Swiss border. Although he only has a metal ring on its left leg, we think it is one of \u201cours\u201d that has lost his blue plastic ring, but his identity is still uncertain. Finally, two youngsters released at Bellechasse in 2019, Radar<\/em><\/a> and Rafale<\/em><\/a>, returned to Europe for the first time in 2021. The article can be downloaded here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Nos<\/a>A report on the 2020 Osprey Project season has been published in the March 2021 edition of the journal Nos Oiseaux<\/em>. While only in French, this report summarizes the first breeding attempt of Mouche<\/em><\/a> in the French Department of Moselle, where she had at least one chick which sadly did not survive. Two males (Taurus<\/em><\/a>, for the second year, and Arthur<\/em><\/a>, for the first) returned to Switzerland, although Fus\u00e9e<\/em> was not seen again. In addition, two other birds were photographed, Flamme<\/a><\/em> (born 2017) in his wintering grounds in the Gambia (although we do not know where he summers in Europe), and Plume<\/em><\/a> (born 2018) on four different artificial nest platforms in north-eastern Bavaria, Germany. Twelve more young birds from Germany and Norway were translocated and successfully migrated from Switzerland between 15 August and 17 September. At least five of them \u201cvisited\u201d an unringed male<\/a> several times during his three week long stop-over in the region last summer. The article can be downloaded here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While only in French, it outlines the main activities undertaken in 2018, starting with the construction of additional nest platforms, the translocation of 12 young birds from Germany and Norway, their care and release in the Three Lakes region of Switzerland, and finally their departure at the end of August to mid-September. The highlights of 2018 were the first return in Europe of two immature birds released in 2016, with one spending a month during the summer at Bellechasse. Even more incredible was the discovery of his wintering site a few weeks after he migrated to West Africa. The article can be downloaded here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While only in French, it provides an illustrated overview of the work undertaken through the project and the results achieved in 2017. This included the surprise of temporarily having a \u201cbaker\u2019s dozen\u201d. Not only all 12 birds which were released all migrated, but we even hosted a young migrating female ringed in Germany. Obviously attracted by our birds, she made a 5 day stop-over before continuing on her way south.<\/p>\n
