Osprey circumstances appear to have stabilized for the time being with the female and young male at the Dyfi Junction site. As far as I am aware only 2 attempts at mating, no success so far, very unlikely with this young lad!
First group of 10 Goosander Red-heads turned up on Friday 5th, probably failed or non breeders.
Redshanks seem prone to great anxiety whenever anything disturbs them, especially passing Ospreys which probably indicates their concern for their youngsters. Likewise Oyster Catchers.
Little Ringed Plovers have vanished, perhaps they have moved up river.
Peregrine, Merlin and Red Kite have been around, also possible sighting of a Goshawk.
Lots of reeling Grasshopper Warblers this week, Nightjars also heard.
