So Tegid has fledged They are both on the nest at present
Dyfi Osprey Project has posted on facebook:
"We're just a tad worried about Ceri.
It seems like she was pushed off the larch perch at just before midnight and spent around 10 hours on the ground. She managed to get back on the larch perch this morning and has since flown back to the nest.
However, she has a dropped wings posture, eyes half closed and looks generally lethargic. Ceri refused food earlier this afternoon and has now not eaten for around 20 hours.
These photos were taken at the same time just now at 16:20; Tegid left - Ceri right.
We think there is quite a build up of salt around Ceri's nostrils, which could be symptomatic of dehydration.
We're keeping an eye on things and will let you know."

These are the photos they mention:
Thank you noc.
and oh dear,and this warm weather setting in for a few days wont help dehydration.
Monty has just brought a FISH. Glesni's got it and she is feeding Tedig, but Ceri won't even turn towards Glesni and the fish. :-(
Poor girl
She's moving but she's not interested in food.
:-(
Very worrying and upsetting to witness Ceri. Dyfi has posted a video of her falling off the larch perch last night:

She did shuffle around and stretched her wings at 6.55pm -- nothing seemed to be broken, but she doesn't look at all well; she's still in a haunched stance.
There was a fish delivery at 7.03pm - she did look over at it and seemed a little interested, but hasn't yet eaten any. She needs to eat asap to avoid dehydration.
