I have just read your message about your field trip and admire you for your perseverance. I am so pleased that you saw the osprey, what a handsome fellow he is .I can't help feeling sorry for him though as he has no company.
I would very much like to add a message.
I thought you would like to know that we were also dissappointed to see a very young and inexperienced pair of kites displaying a few months ago and indeed they either built a nest or added to one The male still comes back each day over the abandoned nest sight but to no avail.We hope that they come back next year to complete their task.

On a more happy note I enjoyed seeing a proud mallard mum bringing out her 4 little ones to show them how to survive life on the Rheidol a week ago This is obviously all that remains of a much larger brood.She seemed confident and they looked very river wise as they went down stream in the lovely sunshine.
Many thanks to all your contributors it keeps us lesser birders inspired!
