DYFI OSPREY PROJECT – JULY 2019

Very wet 3 standing around and then one starts chirruping and flapping....too far off to see who

Not good flying weather for juvies, no-one had taken off when my download stopped at 07:00:

Peris has been up and about. Thought to be on the camera post with Telyn at the moment.

Peris must have flown just after 07:00, after my download went down (according to rollback).

First a poop:

Takeoff:

Joins Telyn(?) but not without a bit of a flutter:

Gone?  Or maybe this is Peris and it's Telyn who flew.  No!  There's one behind a blur, I think.  I couldn't find a flyoff, the blurs 'n blobs are constantly changing and masking the birds:

Monty brought a clump and flew off into the distance:

Then a parent (couldn't see the ankles) flew from behind us to the perch and stayed:

damp morning, windy, trying to takeoff but weather not very good.

Mid-late morning - Monty must think the juvies still need fencing in!

Peris flew in for a nice sitdown:

Berthyn gets going:

I'm guessing this was Peris flying off skew-whiffly:

Yes it was:

Here's Monty with another stick:

The dearest boy does look scrawny, he's been working so hard for so long :-*

Just after Monty flew, Peris crash-landed into the side of the nest - I might have got these in the wrong order :-/

Berthyn will be fledged by the time I get this lot posted and on to the next batch!

Monty had a well-earned rest, but I don't know how long for:

Berthyn and Peris had been struggling with their own fish bits, Hesgyn had nothing, Telyn came to help but there didn't seem to be much to help with, I recognised a founder tail.

Then, when all seemed lost ;) Telyn brought a big flounder, their favourite ;)

I must have completely misinterpreted earlier nest events, as the juvies weren't at all interested in the fish and Telyn proceeded to eat it herself!

Off goes Peris:

Extremely windy Nest being buffeted All 3 juvies on the nest, just standing around and an adult on the birch perch
