Dyfi Ospreys.

An osprey has landed at the nest site. The chat room's going into overdrive:) It seems it's a bird from another nest...Dai Dot.

I've been watching since 7.30, melv. Thanks for putting it on here. x

[melv16]

Monty's back.....chatroom meltdown:-)

[Tilly2]

Yep! Hoorah!.....and Blue 24.......oh dear!

[wolf63]

I heard of the return of Monty over in Facebook. I thought that they ate little yappy dogs but it seems not.

I am not fond of birds but birds of prey are magnificent looking and one glare from one of them big budgies would scare anyone off.

I hope that there will be loads of babies and they thrive.

There you go, Yont. That's Blue 24 at the moment. Monty's gone fishing.

[tonyav]

Thanks very much you two. That Blue 24 is a big un ain't he.

[tonyav]

How do you know which one is which ?.

[melv16]

Blue 24's a she. Do you normally have a problem distinguishing the sexes? LOL

[melv16]

The female's the one with the mouth open:-)

[wolf63]

I tried watching the stream but the noise the bird was making woke my cat up and scared her.

Happy Bird Watching folks :-)

[tonyav]

No I bloody well don't as you well know ;-)

[Hypognosis]

Damnit! I've been watching that empty nest, like a numpty, since March, then get so wrapped up in AB threads that I miss the big arrival.

Was that Ravens, we had the past few days? They're in for a shock, next visit! ;-)

[wolf63]

melv - bad boy! Is she trying to attract a mate ?

[tonyav]

You could turn the sound down, wolf.

[tonyav]

Ohhhhh mating going on just.

[Tilly2]

Now you know which is which, Yont. :-)

[Hypognosis]

Well, if the news is all over Facebook, they're doing a superb job of keeping the video stream going, under heavy user load.

Re: Blue 24, they panned from one bird to the other but I didn't see any ring or wing tag on either bird. Where to look?

[melv16]

Monty the male doesn't have a tag. the female has the tag on her right leg.
