Dyfi Osprey Project - July 2016

Ceri has turned around to face the camera (around 7.23pm) -- she is holding her left wing lower down than the right. Doesn't look good.

Ceri seems to be hanging her head lower and lower, but is still looking around. Am praying that she will eat something very soon.

Someone on the Dyfi Osprey Facebook page observed a bizarre event this afternoon. Can anyone else corroborate/shed light?

Ceri (I think) was on the strut below near pole not at the far end Glensi (?) had been there earlier. A bird with a large wing span (an osprey) suddenly flew in and appeared to grab Ceri (if that was she) by the shoulders. She got away but dropped straight out of sight as if to the ground. I was alarmed and checked this FB page for any information on what had just happened. I am not an experienced bird watcher and have to read the rings to tell which bird is which. In this case this was too far away to tell. I think it happened between 2:15 and 3 pm.

Ignore my previous quote of a bizarre event this afternoon - someone else now says this was Tegid making an ill-judged landing. I can't watch the live streaming any more; is rather upsetting.

Thank you Nature Lover. All we can do is hope.

Thanks, Nature Lover. I agree with Mike, all we can do is hope.

The fact that she managed to get herself up and out of that tall vegetation is in itself an achievement and shows great strength and determination. Let's just hope that that same approach carries her through.
