Since they've fledged we've noticed both brothers, Hesgyn and Peris, spending a lot of time together. They seem to have formed a strong bond with each other.
Beautiful pictures.
Monty delivered fish to KA3. Juvie was not very hungry and took off...

STILL GROWING
We thought you would like to see some very recent pictures of KA5(ROLI), it used to be easy identifying him from his parents but it now becomes more difficult as each day goes by. He is turning into an adult so fast. Although we still see him flying with his parents we notice that he is now more independent spending a lot more time away from the nest and sometimes returning to the nest alone.
He certainly looks a strong boy and full of character!

Here is the last photo we have of Peris just before he left last Friday.
The end of August is a strange time... as Berthyn eats her breakfast on the nest this morning, her brothers could be a thousand miles away by now.

It's that time of year again when Monty looks forward to the the last few days in Wales by himself.
Telyn and two of his offspring have almost certainly departed for warmer climes, leaving just Monty and his eldest daughter, Berthyn.
Berthyn is still with us - as is Monty - on this rather autumnal last day of August. She is 97 days old today.
If she is still here tomorrow she will acquire the record of oldest Dyfi youngster to migrate, currently held by Dulas in 2011.
Q. Do all ospreys migrate? Any examples of an osprey staying the winter in the UK?
A. They all go - 100% of them. For an osprey still to be here in the winter they would have to be sick or injured, this almost never happens.
Berthyn's urge to fly south is getting stronger everyday. Conversely, her urge to stay is diminishing. Very soon there will be a tipping point and she will be off.
