Things going well at Tweed Valley

Thanks Alan these two have worked things out very well.

Latest from Dyfi re streaming:

"Midday - The friendly guys from BT have been with us all morning since 9am - hooray!

They are connecting four additional lines for us to be able to live stream the ospreys onto the website, looks like we're back on again.

A huge thanks to all that emailed and contacted us yesterday - what a difference a day makes."

Hoping all goes well with the sea eagles but living in Ireland I am totally aware of the dangers that the birds are in.    I hope the nest is protected properly.  

I understand what you are saying, Tempo, but I don't understand why it should be so. As you live in Ireland and maybe understand the Irish psyche and way of life better than those of us who don't live there, can you give any reason why they should be less safe than those eagles nesting in Scotland, for example?

I note from the link about the nest that 100 birds have been released since 2007 and 20 have been found dead. I wonder if this is a normal mortality rate or considered excessive.

Like you, I very much hope there is good protection around the nest.
