Link to last post on Dyfi Osprey Project – April 2018
Summary of the season so far:
Monty arrived back 4 April. Sadly Blue 12/Glesni has not returned however a new female, Blue 3J(13) who arrived at the Dyfi around 4 April has paired up with Monty and they are now incubating three eggs - #1 laid 22 April, #2 laid 25 April and #3 on 28 April and are due to hatch later this month.
But until then, hopefully we can keep tracks on Gwynant and what he gets up to and also learn what 3J is to be called. And last but no means least, we await Ems’ tribute to Glesni and no doubt many of us will wish to post a few words here too.
Oh that's lovely! Welcome Telyn.
I'm listening to the harp music played at Dyfi - it's beautiful.
Here's the blog.
Thank you for the link Alison.
Birdies LG DU update.
I saw Seckou Keita playing in Morecambe with the Welsh singer/guitarist Gwyneth Glyn a year or so ago. Lovely, complex, beautiful music. And Seckou is a really nice man too. Wonder if he knew that there were several pairs of ospreys nesting a few miles away in Cumbria, just the other side of Morecambe Bay?
Telyn is looking contented on the eggs (just caught a glimpse of her before the stream went down).

Love the name and its meaning but I wonder if they were thinking of that name long before they asked us if she should be named--lol! Not that I mind or that it matters at all!
Kind regards, Ann
So true, no boundaries. Lovely to give her a name, I rather like it. Thanks for the link Alison.
Monty on the nest. Just caught him before stream dropped out!
I am all for that 3J name 100%, 'Telyn'. A very appropriate and well thought out naming. :-)
No reason that people cannot use the name they prefer--3J or Telyn, we will know who they are talking about.
Looks like a nice dry night.
