    Female osprey in flight. Picture by Chris Gomersall. Yes, the pair of ospreys that have nested at Pont Croesor, near Porthmadog, every year since 2004 have returned, much to our delight here at the RSPB Cymru viewing site.

    The male arrived on Saturday 21 March with the female arriving a day later. We are now open and busy preparing for the first wave of visitors for the new season.

    The adults are the only known nesting pair of ospreys in Wales. Two chicks successfully fledged from the Glaslyn osprey nest in 2005, followed by another two in 2006 and 2007 with a record three fledging in 2008.
