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.

Sorry to read the sad news. I didn't get anything useful, I'm sure it won't be illuminating to see one OK chick, one very unsteady chick, and one little corpse.
I'm thinking of the last beautiful youngster to fledge from here - killed by a wind turbine (is that the right name for it? - senile!).
IMAGICAT
Big rainbow delivered and 2 osplets up.
The bigger chick was fed but I'm doubtful if the smaller one got anything but the feed is very glitchy and I may have missed it.
