Glaslyn osprey diary

Follow the fortunes of a pair of ospreys breeding near Porthmadog in north Wales. More...

My first season comes to a close

Where has the time gone!? It seems like just last week when we were setting up the site and ensuring the cameras were working for efficient monitoring of the nest and eggs.

Yet here we are, five months gone and three chicks successfully fledged and on their way to Africa.  Indeed, the adult male and adult juvenile have not been seen today and we assume that the somewhat milder weather of today has prompted them to leave Glaslyn.

I’d just like to say a BIG thank you to everyone (staff and volunteers) who have made my first season such a delight as well as an experience I’ll never forget. I’m already planning the next season and look forward to seeing you again next year. Here’s hoping for few more chicks to add to our osprey success here in Glaslyn!

Thank you to you all!

I'm so glad it has been such a success for you all and particularly the osprey pair themselves of course !!

Three chicks successfully hatched and fledged and off on there migration you couldn't ask for more :)

I wish you all the best for next season too and hope the weather improves next year, as  the weather reports from Glaslyn recently sounded horrendous .....what with a railway sleeper being washed around by the floods and water levels creeping up so that the center had to be closed it must have been very hard for all of you.
