    Detailed update from Brenig Osprey project - not sure how to paste the picture I'm afraid.
    "Hello everyone / Noswaith dda, pawb [and with huge thanks to Maria Hayes for the amazing picture!]
    Once again, thank you for your support over the past 36+ hours. Today has been another long and busy day – below is an update. Please forgive us if there is no further update for a little while, and accept our apologies that we aren’t able to respond to all the messages we’re getting at the moment – once again, our priority has been taking on-the-ground conservation measures for the birds. So …
    1. Our nesting pair (and a guest, welcome or otherwise!) are still around – see our update of earlier this morning! This is good news, and gives us hope that we may yet have a breeding season here.
    2. Yesterday, we cleared a second nest platform in the hope that the birds would choose to make it their home. At the time, our absolute priority was ensuring that something was available to them, causing the minimum disturbance possible. However …
    3. After obtaining a range of expert advice throughout yesterday and this morning, a decision has today been made to also place a new nest and amended platform in the original location. The aim is to give the birds a choice of two nest sites, including something as close as possible to their original. Wildlife Trust staff have spent this afternoon building a new nest from scratch and, if all goes to plan, Welsh Water will erect it tomorrow morning.
    4. Once it becomes clear which, if either, nest site the birds choose, we will establish what security measures can be put in place to protect them. We cannot emphasise strongly enough how out-of-the-ordinary Friday evening’s attack on the nest was – most UK nesting sites are not monitored 24/7 because there has been (thankfully) little need to, particularly in recent years. We will do what we can, and will be in touch further about what support might be needed. Thank you for all the offers received so far.
    5. We are conscious that there is a view that publishing information about the birds is unwise – or even irresponsible. However, we firmly believe that the risks of doing so are outweighed by the benefits, and that those determined to harm the birds would find out all relevant information even if not in the public domain.
    Finally, please bear in mind that none of these decisions are straightforward, and that there is rarely absolute consensus on the best way forward. There are alternatives, which can have some advantages, but no position (and no decision-maker) is perfect. Staff are making decisions under huge pressure and based on the best science and evidence available – please be kind to those involved at this difficult time, even if you disagree. In all decisions, the welfare of the ospreys is of paramount concern – and let’s not forget that none of us would be having these discussions were it not for the actions of the perpetrator. If you know anything – anything at all – about who did this, please contact North Wales Police, using crime reference Z059734.
    We’ll be in touch with more news in the week, as and when we’re able to provide it.
    Team BOP "

    Meanwhile life continued fairly serenely at Llyn Clwedog. Perch at 14.17 and trout at 19.34 on the menu. Nasty weather forecast for tomorrow - hunker down Seren and Dylan.

    That's great news,. Let's hope for a successful outcome. They really are on the ball to try and keep the ospreys around.

    Given my tech woes yesterday, here is the 19:34 effort from rollback -  for the best view I needed to snap this on the previous frame but my reactions were too slow every time I tried. Seren had nearly backed herself off the edge of the nest, lol.

    And thank you for the update on Brenig, AG.  Whether we agree with them on not, they certainly are working very hard and doing their very best, as they see it, for the ospreys.

    You couldn't make this up if you tried.

    Just read this release by Llyn Brenig on F/B.

    "On Saturday, following the discovery that the osprey nest had been felled at Llyn Brenig, an alternative nesting site was immediately prepared. Working with North Wales Wildlife Trust and having taken advice from a leading osprey expert, it was decided to erect a second nest on Monday morning.

    However, an unauthorised nest was erected on site by an as yet unidentified person or group last night. To give the birds the best chance now, we respectfully ask people not to interfere on this delicate and protected site and to allow our licensed team along with NWWT to undertake their work in line with the law, expert guidance and also correct health and safety measures."
