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.

Cam is back UP

But not for long. While it was up, a Goose made free in the nest but the picture was constantly breaking up.
I see that SHEILA reported an Osprey at Llyn Brenig yesterday - well I didn't have it, had had to shut it down because of breakups.
This morning a goose spent 20 minutes on the nest - is it a Greylag? Because if so, they're supposed to nest on the ground! (And if not, I don't know what it is.) The cam's been better today

Two different pairs of gulls on the nest - I won't even attempt to ID - CLARE is usually our gull specialist but she's domestically busy these days:
No-one seen overnight or early this 31st morning.
New URL.
Something's changed - instead of a Pause button there's Stop live playback and I can't get rollback to work at all. Maybe someone could see if they're getting the same?
