Unable to start this thread earlier because the Community forums (and maybe more) were down.
Just carrying over from last night Deri's last moments on the nest - just in case they are the last we see of the dear girl. I don't know if she is the bird flying onto the perch, or if it's Monty.
To my amazement, I found that I'd been recording the nest since last evening - 10h45m !!! And I could play it !!!
Here are the first visitors this morning: corvids that don't look like crows to me:
Then PATILY said :-)

I took loads of snaps and then found I'd left the screenshooter with the close-up of perries setting, not doing it again!
Video has a slow start.
Amazing vid Scylla, feel sorry for Deri!!

Monty has just enjoyed a fish on the perch, he ate with great gusto :-)
Just because he is there... :))
Good morning Clare, scylla, Mike, Patily, and the crew. I'm lurking before hurrying off to work.

I took this just after Monty took off after a crow. :o
Discussion about Deri:
11:56 - Emyr - MWT : I would expect her to go off wandering for a few hours, like Gwynant did. She's been tethered to that nest as if she had an elastic band tied to her.
CC Those are fantastic captures of Monty.
