Camera update.
Good News: We've got all six nest cameras working, tested and running beautifully.
We also tested the Live Streaming briefly this afternoon too - it will be on by Monday next week.
Bad news: Our efforts at fixing our Sennheiser MKH 416 P48 microphone have failed so we still don't have audio as of this evening, but we're on it.
Massive thanks to Andy and Tony this week for enduring some brutal weather (not forecast!) on the marsh.
We'll get there.

I have found out how to get chat with the live stream! Dyfi page/webcam brings up their cam on their page. Click on YouTube on the ca screen, and that takes you to Cam plus chat! Eezy peezy!
Lucky for me Telyn has an ID ring but should I now see a close up full face shot again
I note she has a distinctive Dot in her left eye.

Hello folks, I have not regularly followed all the other osprey nests, conesentrated on LG but am trying to this year. I have set the nests as bookmarks and put the names of the resident pair on there also. Am I correct in saying that some of the ringed birds have names, so when folks talk about XY1 and also give a name, it is in fact the same bird. Can you also tell me who is the partner of Telyn please, Phew trying to follow all these pairs!
Is there a link to go to or a list of all the resident pairs at particular nests?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Hi Catlady, Yes, some ringed birds do have names. Telyn is also Blue 3J (darvic colour/number) and is the daughter of Maya and Green 5R (Maya's previous partner before Blue 33) from the Manton Bay nest. She paired up last year with Monty, the resident Dyfi male, after his mate, Blue 12 / Glesni sadly did not return.
UK Ospreys (Pete Dee's site) is a great source of information and he maintains an arrival page which lists all the nest along with its residents thereafter eggs and chicks
Here is the link for you .... UK Ospreys
Catlady, Monty is unringed but has dark amber eyes.
