DYFI OSPREYS - APRIL 2019

MC report on chat says all is well as seen from the Obs.
Power cut caused the drop out.

Morning - I'm not surprised power / cam is down with Storm Hannah - 70mph winds / Storm Force 10.

10:30 UPDATE

Storm Hannah is a lot worse than we were led to believe she would be. Wind of over 80mph overnight, we're down to around 60mph at the moment.

All electrical power to Dyfi Junction station has gone and trains to and from Aberystwyth cancelled. We get our power directly from Network Rail - for free - so as soon as power is restored we'll have our cameras back.

We can still see an osprey fighting the storm, incubating the eggs, from the 360 Observatory but it's impossible to say whether it's Telyn or Monty. The nest and the larch perch are still up.

It's not so good at DOP itself, two trees have fallen, one onto the visitor centre.

We have now cleared this tree and DOP is open to the public as normal.

Monty and Telyn are going through hell at the moment, it's important that we are open to tell their story.

DOP volunteers have been phenomenal - thank you so much.Dyfi Osprey Project

Thanks Sheila.....order restored!!

Hello Mike! It sounds really terrible there. Well done to the staff and vols. Glaslyn cam was/is down too.

Oh my that is some winds, its windy with us up here most of the time, a gusting 30 is kinda the norm! So to be having that winds, oh poor Osprey's, hope all will be well with them.

From Dyfi chat 13:04

DOP: Hi folks, Alwyn has just seen the bird on the nest get up and have a short comfort flight. Guessing this is probably Telyn.

Also looks like the Aber train line is open again so hopefully power won't be too far away.
