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.
There's a sprinkling of white on his back Is that early morning dew or has it been drizzling?
Telyn back incubating To me her back feathers always look particularly beautiful Is just because of the great closeup?
Timely reminder re the name Patily! Thank you.
Birdies LG DU update.
Lovely bit of togetherness at changeover time.

And another two swaps - they both seem keen to incubate this morning.
I literally clicked on the nest a couple of minutes ago and Telyn started calling and stood up and Monty flew in with a flounder She was keen to grab it and off she flew leaving Monty to chat a little before settling downto incubate

Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Well, something's definitely up:
