Telyn & Idris are raising 2 healthy osplets, #1 & #3, following the accidental suffocation of #2.
.
Update - end July
Dysynni
Ystwyth
Almost synchronised ruffle:
IMAGICAT
16 August
Early get-together, one missing:
As reported by MIKE on previous page:
He donated it, deheaded, to nest, the Dysynni ate a load and flew up to perch with it, leaving sib hungry:
Two "out there", only just visible:
Ystwyth got fish eventually He left a big part on the nest so he wasn't starving:
Then Idris with a new fish - Ystwyth went back to the nest and reclaimed the one he left there:
Everyone's OK:
Repeat scene, tho I don't know the personnel:
One chick visited nest thereafter, and when it left the cam was empty for the night.
Birdies LG DU update.
Thank you, PATILY & MIKE
It was only yesterday that I managed to put the right (I hope) names to the numbers, mighta know'd I hadn't finished revising
17 August
Telyn got a earbashing from Ystwyth on a wet morning - Dysynni was on the nest:
Flyers from right to left, impossible to distinguish what they were, no wings seen flapping:
Telyn delivered, both chicks waiting:
Idris must have been fishing but I didn't see him with a fish - surely he didn't feel the need to bathe on this rainy day:
Dysynni about to drop the fish skin, but something else had to go first:
Two "out there" again:
Idris with headless Mullet for Ystwyth:
No zoom available, I'm assuming this is Dysynni getting supper from Telyn:
After the family had left, the corvids searched for scraps:
18 August
The cam went down just before 04:00.
Telyn brought the first fish - not a whopper but it got shared between the two.
Dysynni hung around, first on the low perch then on Monty's, then (I theorise) he saw sib "out there" and had a stretch in preparation for flying out to her:
I've just thrown my toys out of the pram because there was a distant event that I can't show you or consult you about because videos are forbidden. I could advise you to try rollback but there's no timeline on Dyfi so that's made more difficult too. As I said, I've thrown my toys out of the pram... big time. I know I'd get flamed for ranting so I'm away to cool off on a friendlier cam.
Suffice to say they both got at least one more fish.
