Dyfi are going to have a nest mic this season : https://www.facebook.com/dyfiospreyproject?ref=ts&fref=ts
Thanks SueC for trying to help - I'm a bit rusty as it's only the start of the Osprey season. Definitely was over-excited when I saw the Osprey on the LotL nest!
Tiger and Chloe's Osprey Info
Ive just seen a very quick flash of a large, white bellied bird on the live cam. It was on for just 1 frame, but was very close to the nest in the air, centre picture.

GOTCHA!!! ;-D
Not an osprey, IMHO (the H is very pertinent), not flying like an osp and too white, as you say. Someone will ID it for us.
I cut off the top, bottom and some of the sides. The timer is from when I recorded the extract after I'd found it on the original download, which has no timer, not from when it was downloaded. It's complicated ;-)
IMAGICAT
scylla you are a hero :-)
now viewing it again: no, no osprey. but no idea what it is
Cats and women will do as they please. Dogs and men should relax and get used to it.
That's not what I saw Scylla, it was above the horizon, in the blue sky and was at 1.11 pm. Nice capture above though.

I'm onto it, COOKY, but the footage doesn't want me messing with it again :-/ One frame is going to be difficult :-(
EDIT - I know that wasn't what you saw, Cooky, it was what Alex saw (I hope!). I'm having a go at yours now but am not hopeful.
Thanks. My one frame might be better on your video, Mine keeps jerking and stuttering so wasn't as smooth as it should be. From what I saw, it was white underneath and dark wings, not slender like a gulls, but more rounded like a buzzard.
Cooky, just noticed you said "1.11pm" ... your posted was timed at 1.10pm! I've noticed before that RSPB's time is not the same as ours.
I installed a new player to try to navigate better but it hasn't worked, back to the drawing board.
I posted straight away, and in retrospect, I must have added 1 minute on instead of taken 1 off, lol. It should read 1:09.
Good grief! One frame is right! It appears exactly as in this screenshot and disappears within a split second, it flew neither in nor out of the picture. Must be some glitches in the Dyfi stream.
