The sadness of Monty's failure to return has been somewhat mitigated by Idris's almost seamless takeover as Telyn's partner.
They have 3 eggs:
Egg #1 ~ 17 April @ 05:58
Egg #2 ~ 20 April @ 01:40
Egg #3 ~ 22 April @ 22:56
Dyfi's usual ultra-wonderful coverage of the nest has been dimmed by (1) coronavirus restrictions and (2) laptop failure, a refurb has taken over. We are grateful for what we are getting, in the circumstances.

Around 16:00 Idris floated down on a strong updraft and stayed with Telyn for a few minutes - she wouldn't get up so off he flew:
Later (I just can't work out the time - a couple of hours at least must have elapsed) I speculate that Telyn needed a bathroom break but this was as far as she got - up, up and down, down, the wind was very strong still:
Around 20:15 Idris floated in again, empty-taloned again (it's no fishing weather) but had to leave unfulfilled, Telyn would not get up:
No idea where Idris went. This is Telyn now, often looking in the direction you see:
I must have lost some footage - I haven't seen Telyn eat all day, nor seen Idris incubate for any appreciable time.
Still very windy
