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.
Good morning, all. I think Telyn is a perfect name - though having read the Facebook post there were a substantial number of people who wanted an English name for her. Despite being English myself I think it somehow feels more appropriate for her to have a Welsh name - after all, Glesni did.
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, beautiful Telyn:
Monty hasn't been fishing:

Just checked again and as in your last picture Clare he's sitting on the left hand T perch.
Birdies LG DU update.
He's just flown.
Here he is, on the nest.
Good morning, gorgeous Montynessnessnessnessnessnessnessness:
I get the impression he wants a turn on the eggs:
It's time for the subtle stick technique:
Poor Telyn - and she's got no idea what's coming when the eggs start to hatch:
I wonder what that yellow thing is?
'I'M THE DADDY'
She's back:
Well, you clearly didnt get the freezes i get Clare. I just had 3 stills to look at, and well, easy to snap, but one does feel like missing out a lot. This time the stills wern’t rubbisch though so i was counting myself lucky just now ^^
same changeover as above, in “freezing-stills”-mode:
i will refrain from posting my freezing-stills for yet some time longer i suppose. :(
2016: first time in history an Osprey nested in the NL. 2018: 2 active nests! 2019 a storm interferes. 2020: a third active nest in a tree!
It's quite strange but my live stream hasn't frozen at all this morning. I hope I'm not tempting fate by saying that!
BT engineers are due this afternoon Clare.
