GLASLYN OSPREYS - AUGUST 2020 to end of FEBRUARY 2021

03 September

MrsG stayed for 1 minute:

KC4 was on the nest for 2 minutes:

Fuzzy MrsG landed on a fuzzy nest because I've only just remembered to reset the YT resolution.

That's better:

She's hardly stopped preening and yacking:

She got a big, firm, headless flounder from Aran - I hope she didn't drop it, as she was very anxious to get away with it when the juvie arrived:

The brother and sister are still waiting on the perch, preenng.

They waited and waited until well past 09:30, then flew off.

Here they are, waiting again! ...with KC4 giving us a look!

KC4 had a bit of a tantrum and fliew off dipping over KC3 (but the dip was blurred) and the cam followed her away into the distance.  I was watching at the time, "Is this it?", I thought, but no.

Here she has just returned, see how the cam attracts attention:

FISH !!!  Flounder, KC4 got it:

Looks like Aran hasn't eaten today!

FISH !!!  Only three-quarters of an hour after the last delivery !!!  It's all a blur, what do we expect when KC3 is sooo hungry?!

KC4 left half a flounder on the nest, KC3 ate lots of his fish and flew off with the rest:

I know you can't see much of the fish but it was a nice zoom of KC3:

Aran had caught the fish and eaten the head in three-quarters of an hour:

KC4's leftover as KC3 flies with his:

MrsG mid-preen, she started @ 12:51, had she had a dip?  (We didn't get a zoom to cut out the cam smudges):

Aran's 2-footed delivery - he's on a roll !!!

Unstarted:

Unwanted !!!

KC3 preferred KC4's leftover cos it had bee started ;)  He flew with it:

Empty cam until MrsG came and had another preen:

At that moment KC4 arrived on the nest, expecting fish? ... but none materialised.

I had to do a double-take on this bird before realising it wasn't an intruder but KC3 with breast and rings glared out:

Unusual departure, he dived down vertically, no flyaway seen:

KC4 was on the nest waiting and shouting all that time until she changed to the perch:

KC3 arrived and they waited on the perch together, until...

By the time the cam got to the nest, KC4 was standing on a FLOUNDER:

But never fear, KC3, here's Dad with another FISH !!!  But it looks tiny, and the one-hour clip ended at this point:

We didn't get to see a "normal" view of it, but it should keep KC3 going overnight ;)

KC3 soon polished that off, then he went to the perch and back and MrsG came to see what she could nick.

KC3 did his up-stare again:

He got KC4's leftover:

After the juvies had flown, MrsG picked over the nest:

Then she waited, shouting occasionally:

Another desperate pickover found meagre morsels:

Aran must have had a fish but not for MrsG:

At this point, after expectations were dashed a couple of times, MrsG flew and left the nest to the slugs:
