Dang, I've only just seen the DOP YT notification so missed it :'(

This is the best I can do from rollback (don't know how you manage MIKE, and it's no good trying to teach me, you've already failed):

Terrific!!!!

MC. Check out roll back. It is likely that Tegid intruded at 8 41. Post on Dyfi Facebook.

Super pic on Fb, Mike!

No way for a positive ID, I assume, with it being so dark?

Good Morning All

Looks like a nice day on the DYFI

Have just checked last evening as I noticed that Telyn seemed to have spent the night alone on the nest perch - therefore came across the intrusion.

Idris had brought half a fish to the nest but not handed it over - and repeated the exercise 5-6 times !!!  What a meanie !!!  He ate the fish on the end of the perch, I think, but Telyn was in the way.  Then he suddenly noticed something and shot off like a bat out of hell:

Telyn was alone when she reacted to the unseen intruder quite a bit later, then suddenly Idris chased the intruder across our screen but I could only get this shot with both of them showing up - what a nuisance that it was at dusk:

Telyn has been pottering, moving the soft furnishings.  Idris arrived with a large stick

followed by some sweet contact calls

a mating and then a lot of chatter off the nest.  I am not sure whether Idris was intruder calling - I saw a large bird in the background, but the calls were closer to the mic than that.

Telyn remains on the nest, but alert
