Dyfi are going to have a nest mic this season : https://www.facebook.com/dyfiospreyproject?ref=ts&fref=ts
patily - In yesterdays blog they said they were hoping she was caught up in bad weather like lots of other birds.

They are expecting her any time Patily and are not overly worried. The thing about Nora (and Monty) is that there haven't been sufficient seasons yet to get a good enough idea of normal return dates.
Yes, bad weather has affected many birds this year.
ChloeB & Tiger's Osprey Data
Thank you for that ChloeB.
I can't find him having retrieved the fish (don't think the camperson did either), but here is MONTY tussling with his big fish, dropping it, and flying down after it - once he realises no-one's going to do it for him, LOL!
This is uncut, over 13 mins long.

Monty lands this morning at ABOUT 0600hr. Lovely flight onto and off the nest:
Monty is on the nest, but the camera is focussing on this now:

They are trying to zoom in. It's an osprey, but who?
How great if it was Elin!
Monty returned to the nest, after a crow took up residence, at ABOUT 0610hr++. He didn't do much, then flew off again.
Not edited, but will fill in ENS time ;-)
Will have a look-see if I've got anything since.

"DING" Monty emailed first thing this morning
"Just to let you know, I'm sure I saw Nora whilst I was flying through Spain last week. She was sheltering from the heavy rain, sharing a paella with some Scottish lads near Granada.
Keep Calm and Look Up"
