\"Osprey-PR9\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s confirmed,\u00a0we\u00a0now have\u00a0proof that one of our\u00a0birds has returned to Switzerland!<\/p>\n

Our suspicions had been raised as a greater than average number of sightings of Ospreys in Switzerland have been reported this spring on www.ornitho.ch<\/a>. However, knowing that it is difficult to see if a bird is ringed or not, they could well have been birds that are passing through on migration, which is normal at this time of the year.<\/p>\n

The great news is that we recently received proof that PR9, otherwise known has Fus\u00e9e<\/em>, has returned. Fus\u00e9e<\/em> is a young male born in Norway in 2016. He had already demonstrated that he was precocious as after being brought to Switzerland on July 14 and released on July 30, he was the first of the \u201cclass of 2016\u201d to migrate on August 23.<\/p>\n

His name seems to be predestined, since Fus\u00e9e<\/em> means \u201crocket\u201d in English. All our birds are named by the Osprey team based on the design on their heads. This is because we spend a long time watching them by webcam while they are in the aviaries, and naming them helps us to distinguish who is who. At least some of the 2016 project team recognized a rocket shape on this bird\u2019s head, and it now appears that he has clearly lived up to his name!<\/p>\n

Although it is still too early for Fus\u00e9e<\/em> to settle in a territory and breed, the fact that this bird has migrated to Africa and made it back to Switzerland is a big milestone for the project. He will probably spend this summer like teenage Ospreys usually do, taking a \u201cyear off\u201d to wander and explore. This means that he might move around and turn up anywhere. If you see any Osprey in or around Switzerland, please pay special attention to check if it is ringed \u2013 and don\u2019t hesitate to let us know<\/a> (to avoid any risk of disturbance, locations will obviously not be disclosed).<\/p>\n

Fus\u00e9e<\/em> is the first Osprey to have fledged in Switzerland and returned in just over a century.<\/p>\n
