The purpose of this thread is for recording all observations and captures of the daily nest activity leaving the main Dyfi Osprey Project 2020 thread for all blogs, updates and general news of the Dyfi nests.

Wishing Monty and Telyn a safe journey home and for another successful season
While delivering a fish, Idris posed for an improved version of Angel of the North ;)
For a while Idris kept watch on the nest perch but the last I saw he had flown, Telyn on the eggs of course.
IMAGICAT
Idris flies in, and starts pecking at Telyns feathers to get her to move off the eggs, she doesn't budge, so he flies off again, maybe if he brought her a fish she would move then

Idris had taken over incubation around 05:30 and sat for an hour and a half without interruption. On changeover he tried to mate but Telyn wasn't very receptive. Not too long after he made some "subtle" attempts to get Telyn up but she ignored him so he left - it may have taken a distraction to persuade him away.
That was up to about 07:30.
I've been in a freeze for ??? ages >:(
