Dyfi Osprey Project

We probably had our the best week yet at the Dyfi Osprey Project - birds showing well for most of the time every day and both ospreys have been diving into the lagoons at Cors Dyfi itself last Sunday and Tuesday.

On Wednesday we had THREE ospreys on the nest! A large female flew in for just over 24 hours upsetting our resident pair. She was un-ringed and has now gone, I wonder where she calls home?

Over 1,500 visitors this week - total now over 15,000 since we opened including the 73 we welcomed on our last nightjar walk of the summer Saturday night.

Birds seen this week include honey buzzard and a magnificent hobby that flew over Thursday morning in search of insects. Also grasshopper warblers singing all over the place.
