Dyfi Osprey Project March 2016

  • So DD has lost his nest and B24 and 5F are still being hopeful. Could be a rocky time ahead.

  • So reading the blog and being totally confused - has Dai lost his nest or did he ever have a nest - being unringed I read from Ems blog that it might never have been Dai's nest and there might be confusion over the unringed males  

    It has been suggested that Dai raised chicks for the previous two years at "his" nest but he has always started the last two seasons - this being the third at Dyfi - strange for an Osprey that has his own nest to be heading straight for another

    More and more questions re Welsh ospreys :)

    DOP said it was 5F, who was the aggressor.

    Sorry, BRENDA - that was my misleading way of warning viewers not to expect any talon-to-talon thrills ;-)

    If you've been out all day...

    Here is the result of my labour (I won't say "of love", after DoP have been so nasty to me) showing a flavour of what Dai Dot and Blue24 got up to today - it's 4x speed.  The fly-off at the end could be anyone, LOL, I was just desperate to find one.

  • Waiting to hear if DD joins up with Delyth again.

  • SCYLLA, I can honestly say that after watching ospreys for so many years, I have never seen so many mating attempts in such a short time. LOL

  • 20:25 - Emyr - MWT : Has it been Dai Dot that's been the male at this nest for the last 2 years?

    20:25 - Emyr - MWT : If they're all brothers, they would all look the same. 

    20:29 -Emyr - MWT : Of course, during the season, Monty & Glesni would see him off.

    Thanks Brenda - just what I was questioning on previous page - "Dai Dot" and "Dai Dot of own nest and raising chicks" fame are NOT one and the same :):)

  • I meant to address my post to you, Lmac. I did see your post. Sorry.

  • Camera has gone down at Dyfi
