Many thanks to AG who wrote this preface to the Llyn Brenig thread for us (below)
Llyn Brenig is a reservoir on the border between Denbighshire and County Conwy in North Wales. It is managed by Welsh Water; the osprey project is a partnership between them and North Wales Wildlife Trust.
One pair of ospreys raised a single chick here each year from 2018-2020. Neither of this pair returned in 2021, when the nest was taken over by 2 Scottish birds, LJ2 (male) and LM6 (female), both 2018 chicks. The nest was vandalised the night after LM6 had laid her first egg; while the two could not continue to breed they did stay close to the site until normal migration time.
A new nest has been erected in 2022 with additional security and a streaming camera is in place. A new hide has also been built.

There were ducks (not snapped) an some recurrent strange effects on the water:
IMAGICAT
The cam went down @ 08:25.
Before that - see how a bird can change colour and deceive us!
Cam back up with a new URL (which we could have accessed via the Osprey Chat thread )
25 March
Cam went down @ 15:30-ish. I got 71 4-hour files, as, in certain circs, YouTube then sends down the last 4 hours of the last live session over and over and over until I manually switch off. One o' these days my hard drive is going to overflow.
Here's 30 seconds showing three views we'll be offered when the cam is sorted, and they're going to a lot of trouble to please us
