LLYN BRENIG - May 2023

18.28 LJ2 does like his pieces of bark. LM6 does like fish better though she tells him!

20.25. LJ2 arrives fishless. LM6 doesn’t seem too impressed.

LJ2 is more interested in fussing over a big clump of grass on the nest.

LJ2 left and returned at 21.30. LM6 was still being vocal but she’ll need to wait until tomorrow for a fish now.

21.26/LJ2 flew off to chase the Corvid that was on the tree ahead.

Night cam came on immediately after. LM6 watching LJ2 chase the Corvid off.

LM6...

I had to lose the "lovely sunrise" because lightening our Osprey involved glaring the sky

Good morning all. That’s a fabulous pic thanks Scylla. 

LM6 had a quick comfort break at around 11pm last night and was settled for the rest of the night.

04.54 She was calling forvLJ2 and he came to the nest and took over incubation.

04.57 Day cam came on 3 minutes later. Hello LJ2

LJ2 had left the preening perch

to allow LM6 her turn.

05.15 Some nice colours emerging as the sun was trying to break through.

05.41 LJ2 gave a couple of contact chips and LM6 flew onto the nest.

 
LM6 is on the nest until 06.50 when LJ2 returns, empty taloned. LM6 had been fish calling as he approached.

They swap over.

The birds have continued to share incubation. LJ2 discovered a new trick of standing on LM6’s tail to get her up off the eggs.

Just after 10.00 LM6 was already up off the eggs and fish calling when LJ2 arrived, again with nothing.

12.10 LM6 is shouting very loudly from the nest. I wonder if LJ2 is nearby with a fish?

13.10 LM6 gets up off the eggs fish calling, as if to receive a fish.

No arrival of LJ2 so she settles back down again still calling.

A minute later, LJ2 flies in with the fish LM6 must’ve spied.

LM6 was up quick to receive the fish.

And off to a feeding post  The PTZ cam managed to spot her eating the fish. (Magnified)
