Dyfi Ospreys 2023 season.

Unknown said:

Ringing of the Dyfi chicks was planned for tomorrow, but a poor weather forecast means they will do it this evening instead.

Ready and waiting

I had no idea the cam was back up - here it is now - OMG, thinks I, why only one chick on the nest?  But the other is lying down almost invisible on the current angle.

Better send the link off to CIRRUS pronto, or I'll be toast!

Yes, very many thanks dear Scylla  but ...

sadly there is no sound    

really is a whacking great mullet though  !  Well done his nibs

Dyfi is ringing now.  The cam is on the Beevors, but they are putting commentary on Chat

7B3 is #1 chick.

7B4 is #2 chick

From Chat.  I can't go any further back

Chicks age in days:  Bob1   34 days      Bob 2   32 days

Both chicks have been ringed and weighed this evening.

• Chick 1: 1910g, Female, Blue 7B3  (the heaviest chick we've ever had at this nest, beating Paith (2022) at 1830g)

• Chick 2: 1515g, Male, Blue 7B4  

We'll edit all the footage together tomorrow and hopefully have a ringing video out by the evening, including their names.

Really good news and the weights are amazing. Plenty of fish and great weather has helped

Aww, that's fantastic news...and I thought PF4(f) at Lowes was a heavy chick! What amazing weights, Telyn and Idris are doing a brilliant job! Thanks All for the updates

 Thank you, SHEILA & CANUCK
