DYFI OSPREYS - APRIL 2019

just looked in at Dyfi - this is present picture C DYFI

Telyn is on the nest perch. She didn't incubate at night last year until she had three eggs.

I see, hopefully the egg will still stay fertile.

Telyn has been tidying nesting around  the egg and settled down Then suddenly she was up and mantling Now Monty come to helpher

Wings back down but Monty standing over the egg and Telyn on the side.....she has flown and Monty is getting himself comfortable but taking his time to actually settle down fiddling with nesting

Still not happy enough to settle to incubate Got a leg caught in lots of little twigs oe something

At last he is down on the egg

You reported that exactly as I saw it Patily. He took ages to actually settle didn't he.

Thank you for the post Patily , capture appropriate to the post . Again thank you

Thanks for this informative post Limpy. I'd , personally, forgotten that fact.

I didn't know about Telyn's non-incubating practice at all, as I didn't follow last year.

Yesterday our "mottly crow" (that's a kinda pun to do with a pop group of whom I know nothing except their name, "motley crue", and it snared me) had a fly-around and perched behind the nest:

After this Telyn took over again.  Her retirement to a perch was corrupted here.

He has now landed on the nest and Telyn continues to berate him for coming empty taloned
