She began her long trip the 01-29-2023 - last signal 02-08-2023 ??
02-08-2023 Port Lincoln (Barge) – Osprey Zoe - (February 2023)
"The satellite tracking data for this female Osprey shows that she has been fledged for about 75 days and one of the first to fledge this season. Not surprising that this female has now become independent of her parents and fits within the established time frame for independence. Over the past week this Osprey has travelled to Mount Hope and onto to Elliston, out to Flinders Island and returned to Mount Hope. However the most surprising flights were through central Eyre Peninsula, Lake Gairdner and to Woomera where she remained for a couple of days on permanent water holes (near the sewage treatment works) and creek system on the outskirts of Woomera and then following a number of inland creeks and a series of lakes to the edge of Lake Torrens and then following inland lakes and creeks south to upper Eyre peninsula and then back to the coast near Elliston. Apart from an over night stay in some roadside mallee near Warramboo and mallee in Bascombe Well CP.
Some generally observations;
1. These type of inland flights for Ospreys can be particularly risky and whilst there maybe an abundant of water in these areas at present, foraging for fish would not be particularly easy in turbid waters and for a young Osprey that has recently become independent from its parents.
2. The flights to Woomera and Lake Torrens are very direct movements (few stop overs). These flights whilst relatively short in Australia, may have some similarities to the northern hemisphere Ospreys which are migratory and travel vast distances when they leave the dependency of their parents.
3. The return flight from Woomera and Lake Torrens to Elliston is also very direct (few stop overs).
4. The attraction for these significant inland flights may be the amount of surface water throughout parts of inland south Australia. Over the past 18 months these areas have received significant rainfalls and all bird life has flourished including water birds, wetland birds, migratory shore birds, etc, etc. "

a fox dies of avian flu, a first in France

France
Seine-et-Marne: a fox dies of avian flu, a first in France
A fox has contracted the bird flu virus in Seine-et-Marne. It is the 3rd mammal affected by the disease in France. Should we fear transmission to humans?

For nearly two years, the World Health Organization (WHO) has been particularly vigilant about the spread of virus A (H5N1), the highly pathogenic avian influenza epizootic, more commonly known as avian flu. Cases are increasing in domestic poultry and wild birds. But the disease has spread to other animals recently.

A fox with bird flu in Seine-et-Marne
On February 10, three foxes were found dead in the Grand Voyeux reserve, in Congis-sur-Thérouanne, in Seine-et-Marne, by one of the green space agents of the AVEN du Grand Voyeux. According to the World Organization for Animal Health, these animals were near gulls, which also died.

One of the foxes, collected and analyzed by the French Office for Biodiversity, was carrying the highly pathogenic H5N1 virus, confirms the prefecture of Seine-et-Marne.

Congis-sur-Thérouanne is in a large restricted area, as cases of birds infected with avian influenza have been regularly confirmed there since January.

Prefecture of Seine-et-Marne
According to ANSES (National Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health Safety), it is very likely that the infection of the fox was due to the scavenging of wild birds infected with this virus.

Cases on extremely rare mammals in France
It is the third mammal to have contracted the virus in France. A captive collared bear was infected at the end of November 2022 and a domestic cat was also a carrier of avian flu in December 2022, in Deux-Sèvres.

ANSES was actively involved in the investigation of this case, which made it possible to identify the neighboring duck farm as being the source of the cat's contamination.

Public health France
All of these cases are linked to scavenging or indirect transmission of the virus through the locally contaminated environment, according to ANSES.

Should we fear transmission to humans?
With this epizootic, fear is growing about a possible transmission of the bird flu virus to humans. The WHO wishes to reassure: “the risk of transmission to humans of the avian influenza viruses with zoonotic potential that are currently circulating is low”. Today in France, no human case has been documented.

Recently, two human cases of A(H5N1) virus infection were detected in Cambodia. "According to the WHO, the viral strain in question does not belong to clade 2.3.4.4b, but to another clade (2.3.2.1c), endemic to Cambodia for several years," says Public Health France.

After this case on a fox in Seine-et-Marne, the prefecture still wants to warn passers-by. “Walkers and breeders are recommended not to handle birds found dead and to report this to the French Office for Biodiversity (OFB) or to the Departmental Federation of Hunters (FDC) or to the DDPP (Direction Department of Population Protection). »
