Dyfi are going to have a nest mic this season : https://www.facebook.com/dyfiospreyproject?ref=ts&fref=ts
They mated and both have left the nest.
Monty brought in a stick for the nest, but she carried on calling, so they mated again.
So what will Monty do should Seren lay an egg today?

Now would we say 'do a Henry' or 'do an Odin'? :)

He wouldn't care. Love it like his own egg! I notice though, that the first mating was successful but don't think further attempts met with much co-operation. she's shouting for a fish now. Poor Monty. His hormone levels must be in overdrive :-)
Oh dear! What's he got his talon caught on? She wasn't having any again now either!

I have no idea how he would react, Tiger, but he is definitely trying to make sure there will be a Monty egg.
Not sure that many of these mating attempts are successful, but he doesn't believe in the theory that ' osprey prefer to mate on the nest' !! She squeaks and he comes flying in to mate, even though she is on the branch in the wind.
Just heard this high-pitched calling and realised that Seren is back - so good to see and this mating looked successful :-)
[So the hat is safe - he was 100% positive Seren would be back!]
