Link to previous thread: Dyfi Osprey Project - July 2019
The season so far: Telyn (Blue 3J) arrived back 30 March and Monty on 1 April. Telyn laid 3 eggs 17, 20 and 23 April hatching 26, 27 and 29 May. The three chicks were ringed and named on 28 June as follows: #1 Blue KA1 (F) “Berthyn”, #2 Blue KA2 (M) “Peris” and #3 Blue KA3 (M) “Hesgyn”. Peris aged 52 days fledged first on 18 July followed by Berthyn aged 54 days on 20 July and finally Hesgyn aged 53 days fledged on 21 July.
August has now arrived and the migration window opens. Teyln and Monty have done a fantastic job raising these three beautiful young ospreys ensuring they have had the best start in life to undertake their first migration. So until such times they go their independent ways and head off south, enjoy!

Thanks for the new thread, Karen, and thanks to All for the pics and posts. Fingers crossed that things continue on the nest calmly and uneventfully and that Monty continues to be a great fisherbird. Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the captures of 4 birds on the nest and 3 of them with a fish. Monty outdid himself that day, the 27th of August.
Edit: Or did Telyn bring in one or two of those fish?!
Kind regards, Ann
patily said:According to chat Peris had the fish and when he gave up Berthyn took it
This was the fish - very fine and pitifully alive:
Telyn got a flounder:
Was one corvid feeding the other?
Canada geese:
Moo-cows living a life of Riley - for the time being ;)
Skipping corvid for CLARE
Flying corvid ;) (No energy for getting better shots of the Magpies, no zooming person was on duty for the footage I've got.)
I think this was Telyn scratching her earole:
And I think this was a bat.

Thereis a terrible din seeming to come from all 3 at times and an adult turning a deaf ear on the birch perch The third juvie is on the cam post I think from the direction of the sound I think if dad doesn't bring breakfast soon, someboy is goingto burst something
Birdies LG DU update.

Mike B said:Telyn was on the Birch perch earlier and Monty has been in but with only a clump of bedding. That's why there is so much shouting!
Monty rectified the situation asap with a whole live FLOUNDER!
And not long afterwards Telyn brought another FLOUNDER - looked whole, I didn't check it for movement:
One each :)
Yesterday moo-cows, today baa-lambs by the score ;)
Hesgyn saw a spare FLOUNDER and made a beeline for it !!!
Somehow this not-flounder slipped thru the net - well, it is slimmer, ha ha ;)
I couldn't tell if this was an intruder-chase or the family having fun:
A juvie gets fed supper and flies off, Telyn (I think) ate some herself and flew up to the birch perch - no-one else in sight.
