Absolutely nothing to report.

Which is a good thing! We can see no negative reactions in Telyn after she swallowed the fish hook - now almost 48 hours ago.

That hook will have to come out somehow, though; we'll keep monitoring 👀 👀

No news is good news today. We can't see any behaviours in Telyn that aren't normal since she swallowed the fishing hook at 12:10 yesterday.

She's a long way from being out of the woods yet, we'll be watching her closely over the next few days 👀

Ospreys don't tend to regurgitate un-digested pellets, usually it's just fluid.

But look at this thing Telyn just barfed up!

Perch for breakfast. Idris probably caught this up river or in a nearby freshwater lake.

A bit of self-care time for Idris.

After a good bath, he goes straight into an intense preening session. He uses his beak to spread a specialized oil from his preen gland across every feather. 🪶

Combined with the leftover bath moisture, this creates a crucial waterproof coating, keeps his wings flexible, and protects against bacteria.

A well-oiled machine, ready for his next hunt 🐟

For all you Bobby Bach fans, he's right at the front of the queue.

Full to the raffters.
