Well, it's beginning to look like "finders' keepers" at this nest. Instead of Monty and Glesni (last year's pair); we have Dai Dot and Blue 24. They got here first. Now, Monty is still scheduled to arrive....Stay tuned. Here's an amazing picture of Dai Dot's two fish arrival. Whatta guy.Two Fish.JPG - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)
He's Baaack!! Monty, the owner of the nest, has just arrived home. Now we wait for his mate, Glesni, to see what happens to the squatters. Monty's Back.JPG - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)
Well, at least Monty knows how to share his fish...Here's a video of Monty....keeping his options open while waiting for Glesni...http://tinyurl.com/m3kfxp7
WHOO HOO-Glesni has arrived back to her nest-about 36 hours after Monty. Now we shall see what happens to Blue 24. Oh, the Osprey way of life......Glesni's Back.JPG - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)
It's been a fairly quiet day on the nest, Monty has brought two mullet back, but we've seen very little mating attempts.
Glesni has not been seen all day, although she could have been the 06:15 osprey that came very close to the nest.
This is a strange time in Dyfi ospreyland - with last year's female probably still around, but with her cousin is current residence. Is Glesni building up her strength after her 3,000 mile migration to have another overthrow attempt?
All the work over the last few days are paying off on the Live Chat - it is now much more robust with it's own server and easier to use to boot. Use the padlock feature to lock the chat so that you can scroll back to read, without it jumping to the start again when a new post arrives
It's looking more and more like Monty & Blue 24. I just don't know about this "Mate For Life" thing. Seems to be more like "First One There" flounder.JPG - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)
I was wondering the same thing HbrgA. If they don't stay together during migration are they really a mate? Or just coincidence that they come back to the area year after year? Ahhh... the mysteries and wonderment of Nature!
