The mischievous shenanigans of a Scottish osprey called Glen
Meet Glen, the troublemaking Scottish osprey: GPS-tracked Scottish Osprey Glen is alive and well after he had researchers worried when his tracker went offline for 36 hours during a migration, the BBC writes. Glen resurfaced after a 36-hour flight to Morocco, blowing a sigh of relief amongst the researchers collecting data from his flights through the tracker.
This isn’t Glen’s first shenanigan during his migration: The osprey had previously hitched a ride on two different cargo ships in September to make his migration easier. During his trip, he also narrowly escaped being blown onto the sea by the wind direction, and miraculously landed close to a small, rare desert oasis in Morocco. Throughout it all, he’s giving (metaphorical) miniature heart attacks to the researchers following his route.
