The season so far:
Glesni (Blue 12) and Monty arrived back within hours of each other on 1st April. Glesni laid three eggs on the 14th, 17th, and 20th April and have now hatched - #1 on the 21st, #2 on the 22nd and #3 on the 26th May. Full details of the hatches can be found here
Glesni and Monty have much to celebrate this month for as well as being the parents of three healthy, strong chicks they are also to become grandparents when their daughter Clarach's eggs laid on the 4th, 7th, and 10th May at the Aberfoyle Nest hatch!

At the moment (though it could change at any time!) the forecast for the Dyfi is for a dry day tomorrow so my guess is they might try ringing then provided it is not too windy.
Kind regards, Ann
Anyone else around? Some odd goings on at the moment at the Dyfi. Are they going to ring them now, perhaps?!
Or are there workmen along the rail line? Heard talking several times in the last few minutes but could not make out any words.
She is certainly distracted by something.
What animal is making those sounds? First one at 0:03, and loudest at 1:58.
Not sure about the animal, possibly an Owl? Mr. GB says it does not sound like a fox, but again, we are not sure.
Whatever it is/was which upset her and Monty, Glesni seems to have decided it is not an immediate threat and to get on with the eating and feeding. I don't think it is the animal which was their concern but something else, more likely to do with the talking people.
Edit: Wrong! It was the Heron which upset them and those were the strangest sounds I've ever heard. Sounded initially like some poor creature was being tortured. At the time I missed that Pandy had posted a video (above) and Dyfi Osprey Project will post a video later on their website and Facebook page and you can all hear it! I never discovered anything about the talking I heard intermittently. Not sure where that was coming from. Any ideas?
More people talking and is the sound coming from that Heron which Monty is dive bombing?!
Glesni is dive bombing the Heron now.
Or perhaps it may have been the Heron which set them off? I've no idea, unfortunately!
