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.
Daycam is on now. What is that red material??!

Birdies LG DU update.
I noticed that this morning too Mike.
I don't think it is netting, looks more like some kind of moss that has maybe dried out in the sun,

I'd like to think you're right Mary BUT Telyn has just been tugging at a piece of white plastic, arrowed, which is clearly a label of some sort and has lettering on it.
It is very difficult to say what it is Mike. This is as close as I can get it....
It was the white label that did it for me. She actually had it held up and the lettering was clear to see. She let go before I could grab it. It seems to be attached to the thicker section of the material.
God forbid it is plastic! Telyn has had a couple of tugs at the bundle in front of her
Indeed. Hi Patily.
Hi MIKE
Good morning, all. It's His Gorgeous Montyness:
I'm not convinced that red stuff is natural.

Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Good morning Clare. The white label I mentioned above convinces me that it is not natural.
