DYFI DAILY OBS & CAPTURES - JUNE to SEPTEMBER 2021

I can;t see the ring number of the juvie on the nest perch but the other has just flown, alarm calling, from Monty's perch

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.

Dsynni on the nest shouting for all he's worth and joined now and again by his sister from Monty's perch, sitting next to mum
(SCYLLA Ystwyth is a she)

MC. The personnel on the nest are Idris, Dysinni(M) and Ystwyth(F)

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:

Lovely captur of Idris drying his 'raggy' wings

490/Dsynni tackling a fish tail when I looked in; now flown

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.
