I'm getting a little concerned over the well-being of Selborne.

According to the BTO Tagging map his signal hasn't updated since 28April, and his location hasn't moved.

I don't quite know what to make of it. Has the map just not updated for some reason, or has he met his demise :paul:

I hope it's the former.

We'll just have to keep our fingers crossed for him, Laurie.

I don't really know what the procedure is with the BTO for tagged birds.

Do they have monitors who can come out with tracking equipment when tagged birds are not moving for a while?

If the path I was following the other day had been passable, then I would have been able to get close to the area Selborne was last tagged.

I'd used the BTO map in conjunction with the Google Earth map to establish a close enough match to get GPS coordinates to follow. This is what I was doing yesterday when I was in that area.

If his tag has fallen off and it's just laying on the ground then I think that would be an impossible task to find it without the proper tracking equipment.

I've just checked the BTO Tagging map and it appears that all is well with Selborne - he's on the move again.

He's gone further northwest of his last position - beyond the tree line I was at yesterday, but not an easy area to get to on foot.

Glad to hear all is well with Selborne Laurie, I'm not sure what they do in the event of one of them not moving for a while :thinking:
