On the Welsh language wildlife program Galwad Cynnar on Radio Cymru this morning, the presenters were talking about the two osprey projects in Wales. Whilst the comments given about the Glaslyn Osprey Project were correct, the comments they gave about the Dyfi Osprey Project were anything but correct. They stated that there were now, no ospreys to be seen down on the Dyfi essentially saying that there is hardly any point in visiting as both ospreys had now departed. This is NOT correct. Almost 400 people visited today and were treated to fantastic views of the male on the nest and flying around - at one time, directly above the hide. He's also bringing twigs back to the nest. The female has indeed gone but hardly a day goes by that we don't see any osprey, moreover, on some days we see two. We see plenty of other birds too of course, kite, goshawk, nightjar to name but three.I have asked the BBC to contact myself or Alwyn, the two Welsh speaking staff of the project, if they are to talk about the project in future programs so that the correct information gets out into the public domain. I have also asked the BBC to correct this morning's comments on next Saturday's program.
If you do wish to visit, please do. The reserve (Cors Dyfi) is teaming with wildlife at the moment. Plus we have ospreys - well at least one.
