patily said:Tywi certainly looks dishevelled
I just thought maybe he had an unsuccessful fishing adventure and was then rewarded by Idris!
No, I have not been around. I had a bad shock around Xmas/New Year and have had to recover, but I've mostly recently just been checking in.
patily said:Sorry to hear that CC Hope things are settling down a bit now
Yes, thank you, things are "normalizing," whatever that means for a time like this! Love you guys...
Sorry to hear that things have not been good for you CC, hope you are doing okay and coping and getting through this awful times that we all find ourselves in. You take care, good to see you popping back to the forum, especially with your lovely Osprey drawing, I love them, a favourite of mine. CL x
11 August - Dyfi Intruder Day!
Am semi-conscious now, but must add some snaps so we have the events of the day in our thread, albeit highly uncomprehensive and uneducated.
KC6 was looking forward to an uncomplicated, sunny day:
284 on the perch, 014 on the nest - the brass neck of them both
284 had his talons curtailed by the zoomer, who had no opportunity to correct it because...
014 gave him an accidental slap and he flew off:
014 on the perch:
She got on the nest with an unwelcoming KC6 for a short while:
I've got an awful feeling my editor is set for the dark Starr Ranch Barn Owl cavity, oh well...
This is O14 on the pinnacle, can't say who the other is at this stage - 284 was there but left:
She joined KC6 again, but not for long:
Back to pinnacle, making a very nice exhibition of herself:
I didn't know when I started that we'd have all these lovely shots.
Then whoever was on the crossbar got displaced by O14:
Then LJ2 turned up on the right crossbar! O14 is on the left, I think:
I wonder if someone other than Ems is on the cam?
LJ2:
Then Idris flew in with a FISH !!! But O14 wanted some, and then one of the other intruders flew over and Monty flew off with the fish.
(Secret video, just this once or twice ;) )
Idris went back to high perch with fish:
Ruffle them out of my feathers!
He gave chase with fish in toe ;)
FOUR birds involved in sky-chase?
This is what we've been waiting for
He flew off with it over our left shoulder:
That's me finished, in more ways than one ;) I hope today has been routine, as I can't tackle it. Maybe LIMPY can come and literally save the day?
