This is a new thread for the Glaslyn Ospreys. Following on from Glaslyn 2014
The countdown clocks march relentlessly on
I will add to this later.

The only life we've missed on the nest was a little plague of white 'flies' earlier. Only there for a minute or so.

It is sad that so many of those names do not feature now.
Update from Glaslyn
UPDATE there are still at least 2 ospreys around the nest site this morning. We'll update again as soon as we have further information.
OK, two ospreys...and a robin
Thanks Tiger, for the blog about OVS. 2008 was my first year of following, after an introduction in 2007. Dear Deshar.
Interesting to read that Aran hasn't been seen since a measly tail end for 4R y'day afternoon. They will be hungry. The photo of them contemplating their talons is quite poignant I think. A sign of imminent departure? The cam is searching the trees and hedgerows.
Anyone there?

Thanks for the update news. Tiger.
2008 is a year that remains very firmly in my memory.
I just read this on CHAT. Did anyone see it ?
"Aran has a fish, and at least one of the youngsters is waiting for its meal."
It is a post by one person at 11.21 ( the clock is usually around 20 mins slow,) with no replies.

UPDATE:
At 11:33 an Osprey with a large fish circled the nest area and above the river.
Aran is still present! He has just been identified a few moments ago. He's currently in a tree often used by 5F this year. He is eating his catch, and, in a nearby tree one of the chicks is patiently watching. We are observing from a safe distance away in order not to disturb them.
As always updates on osprey bulletin
It sounds like Aran is trying to teach them tough love at the moment as the clock is ticking away. I felt sad looking at the capture yesterday of them both looking down. As regards Deshar comment I think we would all love to feed them and deliver or guide them to Africa for the first time.
