Good news today - the Glaslyn osprey pair’s first chick hatched this morning (Wednesday 13 May). The youngster was seen fully emerged when the mother moved off the eggs at around 9.11am.
The remaining two eggs continue to be incubated by the adult birds, and we hope they will hatch over the next few days, so if you’re visiting the site today you’ll be the first to see the chick. At the moment, the new arrival is completely bald, still wet and absolutely tiny, as you would expect from a chick that is just a few hours old. Later today, we will see its eyes open properly and it will have its first feed.
We’ll keep you posted of any more developments as soon as we see them.
