DYFI OSPREYS- March 2019 onwards

Great photos Scylla, I agree with Cirrus with female stonechat, lovely little birds always perchng on top of sticks. I've never seen a Raven, I think somewhere we've got a Raven calling, maybe Lowes, which I will investigate later.

I had a critical PC crash a week ago and to my horror yesterday, I found I'd lost my huge excel work spreadsheet, but fortunately I had backed up in January and the webcams are presently down so I can get on with bringing that one up to date.

A Yagi is a piece of equipment used to locate birds which have been fitted with tiny sensors. It has a limited range and the transmitters fall off when the tail feather is moulted. Used to detect birds when they have first fledged. Alison did a lot of 'detecting' at Poole last year.
This page from the old Rutland site shows the kit:- www.zen88810.zen.co.uk/.../Transloc flights.htm
Each bird has its own frequency. The use of this kit has detected birds which have been 'grounded' after a fledge.

The cam is live on the Dyfi page but Chat is on the YouTube link.

Well, this did get to me a bit  late Mike as I was taking advantage of the superb hiking weather and getting out and  about  . But thank you so much for the explanation and the link  - all very interesting, I have to say. Wish I was in a place where  I could   volunteer for anything. My time off  work needs for me to be walking in green footpaths and  woods and so on  well out of the city I live in but ....... come the day ......
