DYFI DAILY OBS & CAPTURES - JUNE to SEPTEMBER 2021

02 August

Afternoon - one chick on the nest with half a mullety-looking fish that Telyn just gave him, Idris landing a whopper that nobody came for:

He looks as tho he could do with that fish himself!

Preening on the nest perch, when suddenly spies a FISH!

Dad had filled his crop and brought back some of the whopper:

It took ages to get this tail down - we never did see it disappear:

So they were both fed latish in the day.

Oops!  Next session.

Idris, crop re-emptied, brings another lovely big fish!

Sibling was on the nest perch, not interested in competing for it:

The 2 chicks roosted together on the nest perch, then suddenly a parent flew in, noises heard in the nest area - parent stayed about 3 hours, flying up to the high perch a bit after 01:00.

One young one on the nest perch, preening There is anoter bird on Monty's perch but can'ttell whether adult or juvie

One juvie resting on the nest and calling for breakfast

This is probably what they were looking at - the cows were about to spread out beyond the nest:

Thanks, MIKE - that's one that would have been skimmed over and missed, even tho it was there for a few minutes.

First it flew up to the high perch:

Then to join Ystwyth:

Then it flew away and around and returned, just for s few moments, to the low perch:
