@Sheila there is silence from most of the powers that be about the outcome of any investigations last year and the possibility of another programme. Questions are being posed to the producers and NRW and I hope we will get some confirmation of the situation before long.  Most of the infrastructure they created at Llyn Brenig last year as been dismantled, which is good, unless they try to rebuild it this year!

Thanks for the info AG. I hope all the protestations made them suitably ashamed for their actions, but these days money seems to speak louder.  I hope the new couple become the residents.  They are certainly doing well so far.

Patily, I know it is a worry but they could both be somewhere far, far away from Llyn Brenig--he is from Scotland and if he returns there he could be undetected for years. She is from Rutland, and there are some Rutland females who have nested near Rutland, but knowing her, she could be anywhere, even in Europe. Like some others, they may turn up years later. I do hope that the folk at Llyn Brenig have learned the lesson and if the story were trumpeted widely everywhere, maybe others, too, will learn that they absolutely must not disturb wildlife. Whatever the legal decision is in the end, I believe that the disruption did chase them off the nest. We do not know if that also contributed to their chick wandering afterwards or not, but the whole thing is definitely tragic. I hope the pair who have been on that nest will have a successful family to give us a bit of solace, even if they are not our beloved pair.

I set my alarm for 06:59 and am poised to start the download but it ain't there and I can't stay looking at it and refreshing the channel page cos there are other things to do !!! Cross!

Got it, yay !!!

Hi Patily. This is the capture of the fish delivery for you.

KS7 a 2018 male chick from Llyn Clywedog has been seen at Dyfi this morning. His sister KS8 was seen at her home nest and at Dyfi last year. Delyth's line lives on.

EDIT A few hours later KS8 also visited Dyfi, as she did last year. I wonder if they will pop up to LC to see their Dad.

Llyn Brenig   Update on the streaming issue just posted on their fb page.

"The good news - we have a solution to the problem encountered with the live streaming from our engineers. The bad news - we have to rebuild all the back office hardware from scratch. As soon as we have design proposals, we'll get it all ordered and try to get you live streaming as soon as possible."

On the filming question we are told that "there has been no approach from the production company" about filming this year. I have sent an FoI request to NRW to try to get the outcome of any discussions they had last year after the filming - they have 4 weeks to respond.

Llyn Clywedog  all pretty quiet as we would want. Dylan delivered fish at 15.09.30 - first one recorded today.

Still recovering from the excitement of  the 2018 Delyth/Dylan youngsters KS7 & KS8 both being seen at Dyfi yesterday.
