May they all arrive back safely.

An osprey on the perch, but I am unsure who it is, it's not being cooperative and showing a leg! Might be KS8 who has been seen there before, but..

It's not the link I had for the camera, so I guess it's a new one, here
31 July
Clywedog
Nice early breakfish for LB 496 - he nearly took Dylan's leg off but we didn't get the best view:
Later Seren found a scrap that 496 must have left behind:
08:46 Dylan brought a very thin stick, didn't stay long.
The above is what I've taken from rollback, to be continued but I have to break off.
Clywedog cont'd
Dylan nestorised some more just after noon.
12:26 Seren brought a rooty clump and did some nestorising:
LB 496 was on the nest 4 times in the afternoon, hoping for fish, Seren brought more small bits of nest material, then she and he arrived together-ish - he thought she had a fish, but no.
Reward @ 17:27
Seren came and stood by hopefully while he ate, but he flew off with it @ 18:30. Seren was on the nest some more but no more fish, nothing significant to report by shutdown 20:54.

LJ2, LM6's partner - I managed to get a hint on landing. He had stayed 40+ minutes:
.
The cam has been frozen for well over 12 hours.
Not visible now, as the sun has gone in, but a youngster is on the campost, calling for fish
This was just before midday, but at the time I didn't notice the moving shadow, more the untidy nest!

01 Aug
A Jay was on the nest 2-3 times during the day, it ate several tasty morsels but the one shown was too big:
I've made a terrible mess of Clywedog today - thought I'd sorted out the nitty gritty but now it's missing, so this snap of 496 looking very well fed in the evening (Seren's there too, with a part fish underfoot) must suffice to show that all's well:
One of the fish was brought in by Seren.

Brenig
08:50 this morning someone woke up and realised the stream was frozen and shut it off. No new stream yet.
True to form, I was very late getting started. From rollback recording, some token snaps, Dylan was bringing in sticks and trying to ruin our view:
Please don't leave it like that
Next time, arriving with a really unpleasantly spiky stick, nearly crash-landed:
Seren:
496 (his first appearance) was furious when Dylan kept bringing sticks in quick succession but no fish:
That's up to about 11:10.
Nice big flapping fish for 496's lunch - Seren flew with what he left behind:
EDIT
17:30 - 496 flew in with this headless fish - I couldn't find it at the nest before then:
