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!

As usual, out of order.

What a relief to see Telyn, she had been avoiding me for days! Thanks to GardenBirder and Sandra for inspiring me to check. I'm hoping it shows her ring number when posted. EDIT - It does when clicked on.
This was the fine fish she had just delivered:
Monty collected the abandoned mackerel:
The cam did a sweep looking for personnel, found this bird but it was day/night/day/night time and this was the best that could be got:
When the cam went back to the nest there was no-one to be seen and it stayed that way until dark.
