Here is the 2021 ringing video - many thanks to Tony Cross once again. Brilliant job. Thanks also to Richard Rees for the GoPro HeadCam footage. Music: Ar lan yn Mor - a traditional Welsh folk song - sang by Bryn Terfel.
Beautiful video! And special thanjs for the wonderful song - it brought my soul and my thoughts from Germany to the wonderful welsh landscape, the Coast Path, Tenby, the Preseli I had the chance to get to know and to enjoy... and the very friendly people I met there.
I am in Carnforth not far from Foulshaw Moss reserve in Cumbria, where we have a returning pair of Ospreys every year.... They haven't done the ringing videos for a couple of years and I really miss them... I sat here with a great big smile on my face!! I am so incredibly jealous of that man that has the licence to handle these stunning birds!! Thank you so much for posting this x
Absolutely beautiful. Well done to all involved and thank you for giving us the chance to see this milestone for the little ones. Tony, you were so gentle with them, bless!
Stunning birds, excellent video and amazing work carried out by these brilliant people. Just to echo what others have said I am amazed at how calm the birds remain throughout the process. Do the parents ever get involved when approaching the nest or are they used to it now ?
Parents soaring overhead calling out to chicks to 'pancake'...thanatosis = lie flat and still. Defense mechanism. Male parent,'Idris',particularly vocal this year.
Ar Lan Y Mor - At the seaside At the seaside At the sea side are red roses At the sea side are white lillies At the sea side is my love Sleeping through the night and rising in the morning. At the sea side is a level rock Where we spoke words of our love Around which the lily grows And branches of rosemary. At the sea side are blue rocks At the sea side are the boy’s flowers At the seaside is every virtue At the seaside is my love. The sea is full of sand and shells The egg is full of white and yolk The woodland is full of leaves and flowers I am full with love of a woman. So beautiful is the sunrise in the morning So beautiful is the multicoloured rainbow So beautiful is nature in June But more beautiful still is Elin’s face.
@@sianillwyd2267 agree with the project of course but not convinced on the need for ringing. Especially when it's done with nets which I appreciate this isn't.
@@arnold80s94 I guess that ringing is a personal point of view, but you can rest assured that this project puts the welfare of these ospreys first and foremost.
