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.

LIMPY's coverage of the first 4 days of the month commenced HERE.

Limpy said:Fish for bobs
Glad to see you recovered somewhat, LIMPY :-* I'm all confused, as usual :(
I think this must have been morning when he plonked a flounder onto the bobs :o
Telyn rescued it/them
It got covered in bits:
After the feed, Idris came and took it to a perch, then brought it back for another feed.
Beaks clashing over a cowpat:
Telyn chucked the cowpat out of the way:
Much later, discarded fish-heads?

Even after a feed the poor flounder was still flapping. Thankfully Idris eventually came and took it away.
One side is covered in nesting material now
Idris is almost blown off the nest as he flies off with it.
