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

FB Update from Llynn Brenig this morning

"LM6 has been sleeping on the Brenig perch the last few nights, arriving at around 10pm and leaving at about 5am.
As usual, this morning we see LM6 coming into focus on the perch as dawn breaks, waking up and preening. Then suddenly, at 4.45am there was a thud as LJ2 mis-calculated his landing on the perch and had to make a loop around, but got the second landing spot on. They remained on the perch together for about 5mins before taking off straight after each other and flying off as a pair. It was good to see them together."

Thank you for that, AG, I don't get up to FB much, not for any nest hosts!

Maybe I should be reporting to them, because LM6 has been roosting nightly for longer than they are aware.

Well, after the cam last went down I didn't remember to keep checking for a couple of days, and fortunately LJ2 made appearances last evening and this morning

I hope one or two folks will find this worth watching because it's taken so long to do, but any other work was too difficult to focus on so I devoted myself to it

Thanks Scylla. The pair bonding makes me think they should be well motivated to return for 2022.

I haven't been lucky enoughto see anybody today

Oh thanks Scylla, that was great, his reaction was priceless. I didn't realise I was that late up. Sorry for the extra work, much appreciated as usual.

I'm always happy for heads-ups, Cathy

Brenig cam has been down.

There's been no evening add-on for the past 2 days.  These were the fishes I found for the 20th but I didn't have complete coverage:

Both parents must have been hungry this morning, as Dylan only delivered about a third of a fish and Seren had to feed herself a few bites before feeding 496 - so he'll be hungry again soon:

Seren is back on the nest as I type, waiting for something?

Oh well I'm all behind, PATILY has given the pertinent update

I'll just post a snap of Dylan bringing nest material this morning, Seren had been waiting for a fish:

I twigged, while sorting out the mess of yesterday's Clywedog files, that the reason we're getting no evening add-on is because (I think) the daytime session has been extended - it's ending at nearer 21:00 than the usual 19:00.  This was changed without consultation with me, can you believe it?!

The afternoon and evening were quite busy, 496 is looking (and sounding, cos I actually remembered to treat the sound) great:
