Telyn hatched in 2013 at Rutland Water. She is the offspring of the established pair, 5R(04 ) and Maya. She had an unsuccessful breeding attempt at Rutland in 2016 where a pair of Egyptian Geese usurped her from her nest.

She was first seen as an intruding osprey on the Dyfi in 2017. 

She has been the resident breeding female since 2018, successfully raising three chicks in both 2018 and 2019.

'Telyn' means harp (as in the musical instrument ) in Welsh. Here's why.
