Whos a pretty boy then.
Limpy said:Idris has just brought Telyn a big, whole fish. She has flown with it.
That's great to read, thanks so much LIMPY :-*
I wonder if I've got the delivery? My YouTube downloads have been worse than pants today, I'd call them G-strings
Checking back, I have no sharp view of the whole fish but this isn't too bad:

He's been pretty and conscientious. In his first session he was beaking and turning the egg very gingerly for 3 minutes solid :D
I am so relieved, he just needs to keep up with handing over the fish.

Telyn brought back this much of the whole fish for Idris:
It was very approx 22:00 when Telyn got up from the egg, had some flaps and "looks", and it sounded as tho she went to the nest perch. Egg still alone now. Did she do this last year? It's familiar.
I got an unbroken 6 hours up to 02:00, wow !!! Pity nothing else to report, as the cam has stayed on the egg.
Times are very dodgy because I only get ending times on YT downloads and have to calculate how long before the end of a video something happens - but the streams are not reliable, they may have been frozen before the cut-off time :(
Anyway, I'm saying that Telyn arrived on the nest @ 05:30 with Idris following very shortly after and sitting briefly on the egg.
Telyn took over for about 25 minutes, Idris came back and Telyn flew off:
Idris:
She returned and had been standing there when I had to shut everything down and reboot due to malfunction with downloads :'(
Idris was surprised by Telyn returning again:
Telyn seemed happy to stand by but then she flapped and flew off, I don't know what the current situation is as I can't keep stopping/restarting...
MC. The egg was uncovered for several hours during the night. It is a 'normal' event and all is explained in Emyr's Blog which he linked this morning to answer concerns. Telyn's behaviour is confirmed by several experienced 'chatters'.
Birdies LG DU update.
