DYFI OSPREY PROJECT – MAY 2017

  • Thanks, Starling, Thelma and KariAnne--Glad to hear number 3 has had something yesterday!  Poor thing often seems to be trapped behind its older siblings.  With luck, it has had enough for a little one its size and will have more later today!

    Kind regards, Ann

  • I thought Monty was coming in with a fish the way Glesni got up but she just flew off and came back with a few twigs

  • So did I Patily! Clear view of all three chicks looking fit and well.

  • Good morning all. Thankyou for the updates and fabulous close up pics of the chicks :) Lovely to see three healthy chicks ! Monty always the doting dad.

  • Not a pretty sight ....   #1 bullying its siblings !!!!

    the three chicks

    #1 quite aggressive to #3 and then #2

    Glesni intervenes covering them

    Thanks for earlier reports that #3 has been fed, anytime I have watched I have not seen it being fed.   

  • Fish .   ...   Monty arrives with a fish and Glesni starts to feed

    #1 is first up

    #2 is now up and #3 at the back

    #2 getting fish along with #1

    #2 seemed to get dragged across with the fish and #1 follows  ... #3 needs to get itself forward too 

    Glesni continues to share the fish between #1 and #2

    #3 nothing as yet.  I think Glesni will have to feed the eldest two first and then #3?

  • 10:53    #3 still at the back and shouting ...  

    10:55 Glesni tidying/picking up scraps from nest but she goes back to the fish.  She feed #1 and #2 some more.

    10:57 Feed Over.   Glesni leaves the fish, tidies up and covers the chicks

    #3 got nothing at that feed! :-(((

  • Monty had taken the fish away and now returned with it and Glesni feeding the chicks again.

    Once more #3 is at the back!  It must get forward

    #2 being fed

    #1 being fed

    #3 is pushing more, hopefully it can get through

  • Bob 3 at last got some food :-)

  • Here  is Bob 3 getting its share....
