GLASLYN 2024 - May to end of season

.

All 3 juvies on the nest this morning - 6M7 was the most agitated:

Cams have been back up for over an hour at least.

Oh dear, I missed the end of the Osprey family's super season.

Here's some overnight weather from the 12/13th, it was like it all night:

.

And here was a distant Osprey on the 16th - I've only just found it while doing a massive catchup, so have no idea what was reported at the time.  It was onscreen for about 50 minutes:

17 September

Looks to me like that Osprey might be Aran - it wouldn't be unknown for him to still be here:

I've got more to do but need to pack up.  Maybe we'll see him again, and closer!

??? Buzzard missed its target?

19 September

Tried to up the geese's voices but the background noise was too loud and too constant:

.

Haha, what have we here? it asked:

20 September

This was the best view of the 4 swans, only held for a very few seconds:

21 September

The heron and the egret are often in the same space in the evenings:

I've just stopped the Glaslyn downloads, gotta clear the decks a bit for the Sydney peregrines, hopefully.

Well, I've enjoyed all these videos and snaps. The geese were amazingly good , just a shame they landed behind those glorious autumn trees. The Bussard caught prey quite clearly. Whatever it was dangled from its talon.The night time flight of the swan looked amazing and, of course the capture of the  four together, so beautiful amongst the autumn trees overhanging the river. The Heron looked a bit 'smug' I thought - it's the way they stalk through the water

I couldn't see it for the lilfe of me - thanks for the clarification!

BTW - checking the video, I noticed that the snap under "Haha what have we here" was missing - so have added it - the sentence made no sense without it

Thanks for not remarking on my egregious typo    !  !    !-

I've got loads of clips from the past 10 days but nothing that motivates me to join them up and present them to anyone

Except... this will memorialise the clearing-out of the grasses and shrubs under the bridge - I expect it was in danger of choking the flow:

The cam went down on the morning of the 18th and hasn't streamed since.  I hadn't checked Chat at the time so I've no idea why.

14 November

Glaslyn came alive just after 2 in the afternoon - and at 10:20 this morning the timeline appeared

On a quick check I spotted some familiar "faces", hope to do some snaps later.

.

As well as the usual swans, ducks & geese, there have been flocklets of much smaller birds on the river - I didn't get any snaps of them, nor anything else much.

Perpetual motion feetz

What raptor?  Ultra-shortie!

This evening, the Tawny again - another very shortie:
