Scylla the intruder is great news. At 14.51 KA7 landed on the nest. The middle chick of the 2019 brood on this nest. Another of  Delyth's offspring has returned to Wales.

Brilliant news, thank you AG  

I got the impression that it landed but it seemed to me that the cam was zoomed in too far to see much so I didn't "bother" - if you think I should have, please say and I'll raid the Recycle Bin... but I'm just posting this before I pack up for the evening at least.

I came here to sympathise with this poor little osplet, who's in for a nasty shock if/when it gets sibling competition  

Hi SCYLLA Do you know where CIRRUS isthese days and whether she is OK?

Scylla the view wasn't great so wouldn't worry about it. Only interesting point is that when ringed KA7 was thought to be female (1440g in weight) but chest looks very white now so John W thinks more likely to be male. Wouldn't be the first time.

Too late, AG - I need to do more videos for Carnyx, I've been complacent just waiting for hatch #2 - and this event was a highlight, sketchy tho it was. I went off to Dyfi Chat to confirm my impression that KA7 is male, I might have known the answer would be here

I'm in touch with her and she's OK, but she's just not up to following the sadnesses this season.  I'll tell her you were asking  

KA7(19) did appear to have a very pale chest. It's always so good to see a returnee

No sign of eggs hatching, it looks like the chick was fed prior to cam going live, as not interested in tail offerings. Dylan arrives with a fish.

Update no he doesn’t bring a fish it’s the tail end, don’t blink when watching cam

You must have nudged me, JANE - I remembered to start the stream @ 07:15!

From rollback I recorded the first sighting of eggs, and as you say, no sign of hatching:

A few minutes later there was a feed from a tailend, which Dylan came and ate from later.

Dylan landed a thinnish stick across Seren's back:

14:19 A small perch?  Dylan came for the leftover after #1 had been fed.  (No obvious sign of pip.)

I'm packing up now, SYAL.
