LLYN BRENIG, LLYN CLYWEDOG WELSH OSPREY PROJECTS CAPTURES & UPDATES MARCH 2021 TO END FEB 2022

Excellent pics and observations Scylla thank you and to you , Gardenbirder for helping to salve my heart break

A video post from Llyn Brenig Fb

Cirrus, Scylla and everyone, There is actually some evidence that every now and then Ospreys who have a failed nest or some disruption do occasionally nest elsewhere the following year (look at what happened at Loch of the Lowes last year, although, luckily for us, the pair have both returned this year and have set up home at the nest with a camera, thanks, probably to Laddie's long attachment to it while NC0 had only nested elsewhere once, last year).
Sometimes a pair will split up and each nests with a different partner, and on occasion, a bird will be seen somewhere else years later, or he/she may even return to their original nest, many years after everyone thought they had perished. Long-experienced Ospreyholic and expert, Tiger, who sometimes posts on these Osprey threads, has several examples of birds who were seen again after many years of not being reported anywhere. Hence, let's just believe in the happy ending, and also cross our fingers that the pair seen today on the Llyn Brenig nest stay put and raise a family!

Thanks for updates and pics

I was hoping to find 5F sitting on an egg but she's standing on the rim gazing around , no doubt hopingher beau will soon bring her a fish

I do hope that the new pair, if they stay at Llyn Brenig will have an undisturbed and peaceful season, because Blue 24 and HR7 certainly didn't end of last season. 

Maybe it is the optimist in me but until there is a recovery I don't like to write birds off.   Many have turned up after years of disappearing like Yellow 37 and White YA, both males and many miles from their natal nest.   

As for pairs moving I know of one instance in Perthshire where an established pair of 10 years nest was destroyed over the winter, there was a platform put up for them but I thought it was too close to the road and it was never used, it was eventually taken down.   I believe it was reported (cannot remember where) but this pair established a nest still in the area, but not close to their original nest.  

This was in 2013 and the road was where the fence was in the distance. 

5F/Seren doing a Mrs.G look-a-like 

Dylan brought a tail end, but then flew off with it.   I am sure he will bring a nice big fish for 5F eventually.

Well there is no denying Dylan's mating skills....   Like how he stays up there to have a look around.
