\"PR4_Mouche\"<\/a>We are delighted to announce that another one of our birds is back in Europe, having recently been\u00a0seen in the east of France! \u201cPR4\u201d, otherwise known as \u201cMouche<\/em>\u201d, is a young female released at Bellechasse in 2016. She was collected almost exactly two years ago in Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany. After that she spent\u00a0about a month in the aviaries\u00a0prior to\u00a0being released on July 23rd<\/sup> and migrating on August 25th<\/sup> (the last time we had any news of her). None of our young birds are fitted with satellite transmitters, as we want to make sure that they are not in any way hindered as they learn to fish. So once they leave Switzerland we have no way of knowing where they are until someone sees them,\u00a0either during\u00a0stop-overs in their migration or in their wintering place, or when the lucky ones return home.<\/p>\n

In French, \u201cfaire mouche\u201d means to reach your target, and \u201cmouche\u201d means \u201cfly\u201d. So Mouche<\/em> (named after the fly-shaped spots on the back of her head) is really living up to her name. She has made it back safely from migration, and she is doing exactly what all young Ospreys do when they return in their \u201cteenage\u201d years: flying about and exploring\u00a0her world. Therefore it is not surprising that Mouche<\/em> has overshot her release site and is now visiting an area about\u00a0180 km to the north.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s hope that when Mouche<\/em> becomes an adult and starts looking for a partner, that she will return closer to home, or maybe even come visit us later this summer?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
