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.

Mike B said:MC. I have spoken to LB and they have no problem at their end. I have used a feedback facility on YT to inform them of the issue.
Shame-facedly, I cannot find a "feedback facility" - I've done this snap to show them what we are seeing but can't send it to them

Unknown said:I hope that the security of this nest has been stepped up after last years debacle.
I was just thinking that while trawling thru the 25th and thinking that there was one egg last seaon when the nest was sawn down. I think they said they were arranging for round-the-clock watchers, but whether they got enough volunteers I don't know.
In the meantime, LJ2 has been standing guard:
He had a peek at the egg but didn't take over on this occasion:
Evening (I presume, cos it darker) the sitter mantled and flew off, then both parents returned to the nest and LJ2 chased off an invisible intruder:
Before he returned I came to the end of my download - I don't set this to automatically resume because it's too unreliable. This is the current scene:

Just managed to catch a glimpse of "still one egg" but still can't rollback.
This channel is designated as MADE FOR KIDS, so certain features will be disabled. As protested before, YT's made-for-kids policy needs to be clariified, it's a trap!
Need to tell them to turn on the DVR feature:
KA5 (19), son of Blue 24 and HR7 intruded at Glaslyn (BGGW and PC Nests) this afternoon. Welcome back to Wales Roli.
I just phoned Llyn Brenig (inspired by MIKE!).
The person who answered said that the DVR (rollback) is deliberately disabled at the moment, but he didn't know about Made for Kids. I told him that we valued the rollback and he's going to speak to "them".
Rather strange because they told Mike that it was working fine at their end
EDIT - the current scene:
AG Thank you so much for news of KS5/Roli As explained last year when he first came back He has a vert special meaning for me Lovely to know he is safe and well
