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.

I suddenly had a feeling of doom and checked the downloads, and it said "not monitoring" - clicked the wrong button again! But how could I let you down? So, with huge luck, I found it in rollback and here are the salient points:
Fly-in, unseen eating, poop, crow-buzz (probably), fly-off to nest, fly-off "southwest" from nest, g'night

09 April - lord knows what time :(((
This goes chronologically:
1,2
3,4,5
6,7
After 7, the Ospey flew off downwards but appeared to veer up again and disappear.
EDIT
Oops, found loads more - an Osprey was back a couple of times performing similarly, no chance of ID - no appearance during the 6 hours up to now.
10 April
Early morning activities over an hour or two.
I didn't get the fly-in, there were grey screens now 'n then - and another note on cam performance is that often when the water appears to be been disturbed as if by the wind, it's actually a bird flying across/up/down that is sending the picture crazy.
This is what it is, I'm sitting here shaking my head at myself (not everyone can do that!):
