All quiet on the Osprey front but all delighted to be able to watch the NEW nest on the NEW cam. Thanks to all for the hard work erecting / installing both. You derserve a sucessful breeding pair this year for your efforts.
Some people think Ospreys are a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.

Ohhhh! Thank you, HH
I should have trusted my eyes but they're so bad these days that I thought the finch-beak must be there but I couldn't see it. If you see what I mean. I had no idea that male Redstarts were so dramatic! Maybe I've only seen them distantly up to today.

Hold on Sheila!. Haven't finished researching the 'quickie'. Now I have to add 'moving the furniture.'
It might have nothing to do with it but I wondered if this may explain the ‘gunshots’ heard a few days ago. I’m viewing on my phone and can’t easily find the posts about it.

Well researched 25Mac - we will have to wait to get details of the disturbance........... but an interesting coincidence. I am ALWAYS waryof disrurbance at any nest, especially this one because of what happened last year.
I agree too - or is he actually fishing. It's about his time of day to do it?
Unfortunately I'm going away tomorrow, back Thursday evening, and I will probably miss the egg. Boo hoo. I will try to follow the thread to keep up to date though.
I was about to say 'intruder' but I've rolled back at Dyfi to check out their intruder and the intruder chipping is coming from there. KS7 from Clywedog has been there this afternoon, and Glaslyn earlier.
