A fairly quiet week this one and not much osprey activity during the last few days, mainly due to the bad weather and the constant mobbing by a pair of carrion crows. The images are of our male osprey last Monday when he brought back this large flounder to the nest - he seems to favour flatfish whereas our female prefers mullet and bass it seems!
Just a quick plug. Next Saturday (July 25th) we have two moth experts, Peter Williams and Colin Plant, coming to Cors Dyfi reserve to host a public moth evening event. You are all welcome of course - we hope to identify at least 100 species and will be targeting the Rosy Marsh Moth that feeds on the Bog Myrtle that we have on the reserve. We start off at 9.30pm and should finish around midnight.
Finally, a quick thank you to all of you that have supported the project so far including volunteers, today we welcomed our 20,000th visitor to the project! Diolch yn fawr.
