live feed of asprey nest at the dam ,

This is very cool! And I'm shocked at how large these birds are.

If you like large birds of pray Sarah Google buzzards and red kites as see them fighting in the air alot when there is road kill. Also other side of llanidoes there is the red kite feeding station and also red kite lake and walk. The red kites are very big when full wing span. In lambing lambing season you see them in the sky above.

Great to see it building the nest too. Wonder how they learn, are they just clever and work it out, or is it somehow past down from generations.

 

[saleen 192]

The nest is slowly getting bigger, anyone else see the osprey eating the fish it court,,

 

[saleen 192]

I don't know if anybody is following the live feed i look at least once a day, just looked know as there are 2 osprey on the next and with the wind in the nest is swaying in the wind wonder how long before we see some eggs then see them hatch i wonder?

 

[TransAmDan]

Its a great video feed, interesting watching it. Very windy out there this evening. the poly the bird is on looks quite substantial, cant see it swaying about.

 

[saleen 192]

[saleen 192]
