A rather uneventful week ends on a high! Despite several sighting of an osprey over the week, our male bird has been absent from his nest. However, as from 6.30 tonight an osprey has been perching on the T perch of the nest - too early to say whether he's our boy, but certainly good news. We'll have another go at identification tomorrow, he'll still be there hopefully. The very severe winds this week might have driven our male to calmer, sheltered areas of the Dyfi with a return today with calmer conditions - only a theory of course, but plausible. Not long now also until the nightjars return - looking forward to seeing them.
Just a quick plug here if I may? Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust are hosting an evening on the Dyfi Osprey Project this Wednesday at 7pm in the Tabernacle, Machynlleth. A chance for folks to learn more about ospreys, the project and volunteering. Everyone is warmly welcome and admission is free - I hope you can make it, it should be a good night.
