Dyfi is due to open its doors for the new season today - as yet no cam online.
This thread = as per title. There is another thread for the overall Dyfi Osprey Project.
Over the past couple of years the upkeep of the stats etc on DyfiOspreyProject.org has tailed off.
We are not permitted to publish videos, however last season I did some restricted to "Unlisted" status, which means they are not visible to general YouTubers and must not be shared.

Idris took over from (((Monty))) in 2019, partnering Telyn (Blue3J) thru to last season, when they raised two boys, Tywi & Teifi, to successful migration. Idris is a fine osprey, as witnessed by his fishing feat during the storm of August 2020:
And Telyn is a feisty female, defending vs allcomers.
I have to use a duplicate "collage" because I just can't find a good pic of the two together.
We're probably going to have a long wait for our couple's return, but here's to it!

Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
I am delighted for you both! I look forward to on the spot reports and pics. Have a great time.

What super news, I've got everything crossed for you, Patily - hope you remember to take a camera (sez me selfishly).
Here was Telyn flying off with her afternoon tea yesterday... on no, it was the 13th
And here was Idris's greeting when she got back:
And here was a Stork(?) having second thoughts as it flew by
04:30 on the 14th Telyn took a break - you can see when she returns to the nest she can't tell the difference between a twig and a solid stick:
.
Telyn is laying an egg as I type - if little grunts are anything to go by.
She definitely produced something but we couldn't see one egg, let alone two. During the process:
Popping up after laying:

That's what I meant, Mike - I'm always swapping those words
