Update 25th April 2023

Just a quick update, we have 3 eggs on the nest, laid on the 13th, 16th and 19th of April. The first laid is egg is the darker of the three, and is due to hatch around the 20/21st of May. The first egg usually takes around 38 days to hatch. Then the subsequent eggs are usually around 48 hours apart. So far the weather has been OK, and not too wet or too cold. So fingers crossed we get all three to hatch.

Intruder on the 24th of April at 18:20 we had a female osprey come make a fast and low approach to the nest, I couldn’t see the ring on that camera, but did manage to capture the ring number on the top camera. It was Blue Z5, a female from 2020 of the BM nest up in snowdonia. Managed by The Friends of the Ospreys. Hopefully she’s goes onto find a nest of her own in Wales.

Remember you can watch all the action right here on YouTube
