This bird was last heard on 11 May.  This is a battery powered GPS tag that was put out in summer of 2010.

57109:10-21 May 2012

During 10-11 May this bird was about 15 km E of Spean Bridge, it then flew up to the Monadhliaths, where it has spent much of its time this past winter (look back at earlier posts).

32867: 11-20 May 2012

On 11 May 32867 was NNW of Quidinish, after which it traveled north to locations around Eisgen on 13-14 May, then spent 17-19 May east of Loch Reasort.  By 20 May it was about 1.5 km south of Cuidhaseadair.

32857: 1 - 10 May 2012

32857:  On 1 May this eagle was just north of Strathrannoch, crossed the Moray Firth on 4 or 5 May, then hit the Highland Whiskey trail and was located at the end of the period east of Tomnavoulin.

57109: 1 - 7 May 2012

57109:  On 1 May this bird started the day just north of Loch Rannoch, by the end of the day it was in the Monadhliaths (again! See earlier posts), where it stayed, except for a quick jaunt north of Loch Ness on the 6th, until the 7th.

32867: 1 -10 May 2012

32867:  At the beginning of the period this bird was located near Loch Seaforth, where it mooched around for a few days before moving north to a location about 12 km north of Stornoway on 8 May, then shot down south again to a location about 5 km NW of Manish.

32857: 21-30 April 2012

32857 seems to be on a pendulum.  During the period it moved from locations east of Dalnessie, south to the Monadhliaths then north again to areas north of Strathrannoch.  If you look at past posts for this bird (see 24 April and 12 April posts) you will see that it has made this geographical swing before.  Taken together with other birds we have tracked (e.g. 57109 See other posts) the importance of the Monadhliaths is highlighted.

57109: 21 -30 April 2012

57109 spent the period around Newtonmore, starting out west of the town, then crossing the valley to the east of Loch Ericht and then circling through the Monadhliaths and ending the period SE of Loch Ericht.  On at least four occasions it flew over the A9.

32867: 21-30 April 2012

32867 stayed in the same general area it has been in this entire spring.  It did make a trip to the west coast of the island on 26 April, but by the 30th it was back near Loch Seaforth.
