A Barn Owl visited.
--------------------------
Look who else came to the nest but at midnight, Scylla
19 August
The Barn Owl came back for 10+ minutes before 04:00 - a more lively visit than before:
There was one appearance on the perch by a juvie, briefly, and then it started to rain:
What a shame we can't do Idris's whopping breakfish justice:
Whichever one received it, and I think it's KC7, flew with it pronto:
But then brought it almost straight back and ate on the nest:
Suddently they both flew off, first the eater, taking the fish.
A FLOUNDER for the "other one":
It was taken up to the high perch, where sib was poised on the other end:
Thank you, Ems/Janine:
Then he took it back to the nest.
KC7 took a turn with the flounder - on the nest and back up on the perch:
This is the auto-adjust on a very pale, misty scene, CIRRUS, if yer lookin' in ;-)
Another whopper from hero Idris for tea/supper - suffice to say the juvies shared it:
There were outages before 13:00.
This goes up to 19:05.
One of the juvies popped to the nest perch before nightcam, didn't stay long.
The wind is sounding very fierce, and all the nest sticks this side got a good lift this side earlier.
Not sure which brother this is, demanding Fish, before flying off Perhaps Teifi

I claimed to snap Telyn on Friday, CIRRUS. I was quite confident at the time but if DOP say she wasn't there, then she wasn't there and I apologise. Wish I'd managed to capture a ring, I can't remember exactly what I saw now and there's no way to go back and check.

A comment from DOP on Fb this morning re Telyn was that she was last seen on 14th August (Friday)

That's a relief - thank you, SANDRA :)))
20 August
No owl overnight.
First cutie to arrive @ 06:10 approx, couldn't tell who it was:
It stayed on the nest for half an hour, then there were ins and outs by single juves which could have been either of them.
A fly-off after waiting in vain for a fish - as you can see, the lighting is not conducive to IDs:
Someone ate a fish (flounder?) on the high perch and then flew with it over the top of the cam. Talk about making life difficult for us:
A juvie arrived and may have been shouting at the fish owner, eventually flew off:
Back for a FISH !!!
But I suspect it's the remains of the one that was carried over the cam earlier, it's rather small for an Idris original:
Hmm, could be, might not be:
Ate some on the nest and flew off with it:
Next fish was more to Idris's usual standard:
The winner left a very big portion for the loser.
Later a juvie flew in with (probably) the huge remains of the last fish and ate on the fence, it seemed a strange thing to do - the fish was hidden among the sticks so one couldn't tell what had happened to it when the juvie finished eating and flew off:
Ah, later a juvie flew in and fished the fish out of the sticks and flew off with it:
Supper! The juvie ate some and flew with it:
The lovely cows came to graze:
Supper #2 !!! It looks a toughie, just as well Idris has started it:
Longer than it looked:
Classic!
An osprey on the high perch wheeled away out of sight and that was the last osprey of the day/night.
It's rained a bit and been breezy up to 01:30.
There were a couple of drop-outs during the day.
Birdies LG DU update.
