What on earth is this?

NOT a wind-up, honest!

This happened at just before 10pm last night

Pretty sure this is not a laser, glow-worms (this is IR light, not visible) nor definitely something we've seen before over an osprey nest.

Reasonable suggestions below please 👽 🛸!

Do you suffer from Pareidolia?

We all do it.... Seeing patterns in random objects.

Telyn's first egg this year has a horseshoe U-shaped blotch on it.

It's usually Australia, but we'll take the horseshoe! We'll now know for the next five weeks which one is Egg 1🧲 🌏

PLOP!!!!!

Telyn lays her first egg of 2024 just a few minutes ago...🥚

Eggspecting great things this week...

Getting ready with more nesting materials 🌿🌿

'Back to my place?'
Idris and Telyn are mating several times a day during this period of reaffirming their bond. Idris had attempted to mate on the ground... Telyn clearly wanted to be somewhere more comfortable.
All being well, it shouldn't be long now before we get a first egg.

Some things are just not as easy in 50mph winds..

Telyn in the rain this morning. First time it's rained for two years in Wales.

More tea, Vicar..?

Prynhawn da,

It's been an extremely mixed week of weather since Telyn returned - it seems like we've had all four seasons most days. This picture sums it up quite well.
Snow might have been a bit of a shock after the last few months in the tropics!

IDRIS IS HOME!! Arrival at 09.49, returning for his fifth breeding season. Welcome back lad.

Telyn is back!

She returned at 19:29 last night andf has been nestorating and mullet muching this morning 🎣

This weekend, we had a visit from Aberystwyth Conservation Volunteers. They prepared and seeded two wildflower beds and built two dead hedges with scrub we'd previously cleared from the bog. More detail on our facebook: facebook.com/dyfiospreyproj…
