DYFI DAILY OBS & CAPTURES - JUNE to SEPTEMBER 2021

QUOTE Me: A massive Mullet: Eventually Dysynni took it up to Monty's perch, displacing 2 corvs, and someone perched on the opposite end, they were both gone at the same time and last seen a bit after 18:00.

Per Chat:

So I wasn't far out.

An osprey on Monty's perch Who?????

Patily it is Idris. No others have been seen so far this morning.
Superb photo on the Obs Board below Live streaming. There is also one on Facebook for those who can access it.

Thanks MIKE The capture of Idris was an hour after I first said there was an osprey but it was a distant view
Idris keeps pausing his eating to gaze around Is he looking for Dysynni?

Idris gas flown with his fish

This was the arrival because I happened to snap him before coming here. It looked as tho he had a fish and I see from your later snap that he did.

Chat indicates that Dysynni has been seen too, but that'll be in my next session.

G'night all.

Shadow of Dysynni on the nest from the cam post, shouting now and again

After PATILY's snap above:

When the cam panned out there were only corvids to be seen.

Later Dysynni waited 2 hours on Monty's perch, gave up and flew off.

An isolated screech:

 

Navel gazing:

Someone was down there:

Does anyone know what these are the remains of?  I think there are a few of them, been there a long time, the corvids like to pick over them:

Early evening, Dysynni was back preening on the perch, then went to the nest and waited, back to the perch - and away @ around 19:00 (very approx) - there was no cam operator on duty to see where he went.

MC. The part you are looking to identify is the Operculum. It is part of the Gill cover and often spotted having been left on the nest.
