Just before 16.00, both birds arrive at the nest area, LM6 on the perch.

19:00

Each time I've checked the LS, LM6 has been perched on the branch (only visible on the Llyn Brenig PTZ stream)

Currently both birds are perched there having a preening session with LJ2 nearest the camera.

Great shot Janni. I knew there were 2 cameras at the beginning of the season then the second one didn’t seem to be there anymore. Thanks for finding it and supplying the link.

In reply to Glider:

So in the last couple of hours or so we’ve had successful and unsuccessful mating on the perch.

and lots of preening from both birds.

First LM6

Then LJ2

Monday 17th April

Good morning, misty start to the day.

Both birds on the perch as the camera lightens up after 05.00. LJ2 looking over towards the nest.

They both fly off.

When they return to the nest, they mate.

LJ2 returns to the perch.

In reply to Glider:

Great series of photos Glider! I have lost track of time with this nest and was wondering when we might expect to see some eggs? What do you think?

In reply to Glider:

Lots of nestorising going on today.

LJ2 brought a clump of moss then started shifting sticks.

More moss

LM6 cup scraping

LJ2 on the perch watching LM6 fly underneath

and a bit of stretching for LJ2

In reply to Glider:

The 2 cameras are out of sinc with each other. When I see something on one cam then go to the other, it’s different.

These screenshots were both taken from “live” streaming just now.

With no clock, I’ve given up trying to work out times!

Glider the PZT camera is looking along the perch which is at the very bottom of the nest camera shot, disappearing out of the bottom left corner of the frame. It is not looking at the perch extending away from the nest in the nest cam shot. Does that help?
