GLASLYN OSPREYS - AUGUST 2020 to end of FEBRUARY 2021

KC3 was on the perch for 2 minutes from 06:59 - looking extremely alert and suspicious ;)

Aran flew in to the perch with fish and KC3 flashed over on his curvy way to the nest:

Something must have been afoot (besides the fish) because Aran kept KC3 waiting and was watchful:

Relatively small whole flounder:

KC4 arrived @ 07:25 - this is the most we could see of her face:

KC3 flew with remains of fish @ 07:32, KC4 is still on the end of the perch.

 Waiting and waiting, still there now.  I do love 'em when they're hunched.

 KC4 waiting:

KC4's reward - I couldn't get a snap until after Aran had flown:

That's how it is now.

Mrs G currently onperch, eating with KC3 shouting on the nest even though she has been fed this morning.......infact they all have

MrsG has been eating a very skinny fish (ie, with lots of skin dangling) on the perch, there's a juvie on the nest, and I'll fill in the details later cos I'm off, SYAL :)

Mrs G and Aran side by side.

Thank you, Mike.  Glaslyn is the only nest I'm screen-capturing on with my timeline, so it would be a doddle to find - except I'm going thru the whole day now, so I'll come across it.  MrsG was there with one juvie or the other when I unveiled them this evening, I wonder how long the vigil was unbroken?

The day continued...

MrsG was eating KC4's "skinny" fish and KC3 was not pleased:

The corvid ate a tiny piece and put the rest back under the sticks, where s/he'd found it:

KC3 had been on the perch in the rain since 12:04, this snap is immensely brightened etc:

He flew @ 13:17 but the cam stayed on the perch (contrary to popular opinion, Heather is not tied to it) until several minutes later when it found KC3 on the nest with a FLAPPING FLOUNDER

KC4 arrived and didn't have to wait long to get her own FLOUNDER, well started, from Aran:

They couldn't relax for a while:

You would think that KC3 got buzzed twice when he was tipped over, but frame-by-frame has revealed no intruder - it must have been gusts of wind that we'd have heard if we had sound ;)  KC4 was immune except to the wing:

KC3 got a displaced feather out of it:

KC3 flew @ 14:48, leaving a large leftover on the nest; here he was nodding off on the perch, untreated snap:

Who's there?  (No answer.)

MrsG came in and collected the leftover Flounder - she didn't hang about!  In less than a minute Aran flew in with another - he waited over 4 minutes, no takers, so he flew off with it.  A video done, just in case it's our last (fleeting) sighting of MrsG:

MrsG joined Aran on the perch for a while, he flew off, maybe they saw an intruder?

All fuzzed out, despite enhancements:

Drag 'n drop stopped working, will have to start another post.
