Telyn arrives at Dyfi…Clogwyn arrived at Usk Valley in Wales

29/30 March 2026

Good morning, everyone,

Oh, the winds are blowing the UK birds home. There are a lot of watchers on the Dyfi streaming cam in anticipation of Telyn arriving after 2000, which she typically does!

Telyn arrives! Blue 3J is home. Time 1420.

Come on Idris! And for those of you who do not know, Telyn is the daughter of Maya at Rutland Water.

Here is Clogwyn! Last year she arrived on the 18th of April. We are nearly three weeks early this year.

Oh, that third hatch at Dale Hollow is such a tiny one compared to its elder sibling, who is getting pin feathers! Send this tiny third hatch your best wishes.

A lovely article sent to me via SK Hideaways for everyone to enjoy – news about Mr President and Lotus! I hope you can open it. (Spoiler – they have eggs in their alternate nest).

Thank you so much for being with me. Must run. The alarm chap will be here momentarily and then the possible cleaning lady is coming to check us out! It is a packed day. Take care everyone. See you soon.

Thank you to SK Hideaways and The Washington Post, to the owners of the streaming cams, and to those who post on FB – I am so grateful for all your work and for owners allowing us to view these amazing raptor families.

I went to the UK as a Commonwealth Scholar in 1990 and received my PhD from the University of Leicester in 1993. After three decades of university teaching, I retired to devote my time to the study of raptor behaviour. I am particularly interested in Ospreys and am working on a long term project on third hatch survival and siblicide in these raptors. My blog is a result of a fascination with my local wildlife and the desire to encourage others to love and care for birds! I live on the Canadian Prairies and prior to the pandemic travelled a lot. I am questioning the use of aviation fuel at the moment as we all strive to help our planet. My early research was in politics and art including British public statues exported to Southeast Asia and Vietnam Resistors that contributed much to Canadian ceramics. Books and articles were published on those subjects over a period of 3 decades. Now I am working on books for children so they can learn about the challenges our raptors face.
