The new female has been named Elen after a mountain nearby, and this morning at 1030ish she laid her 1st egg. Long may this story run

Sadly Mrs G didn't come back this year it would have been her 20th year which is some record. Aran came back early April and was alone for a while, then he was joined by a unhinged female, but after a couple of days she moved on. There is now another female on the nest ,mating has taken place and just awaiting eggs to be laid Over on the Pont Croesor nest there's eggs.

Hi Graham, you mean the egg was rescued then?

Rob the site where the Osprey platform was chain-sawed down, if that's what you're thinking about, was Llyn Brenig Reservoir, not Glaslyn.

re Brenig, apparently an egg was laid yesterday. That may have triggered this hideous crime

I really hope the police find them - penalty is unlimited fine and/or 6 months pleasing HM. For a popular site, the penalty could be at the high end




Thanks for that info John,
I hadnt seen that in the original report on Twitter, it just said 3 birds regularly using the platform with 2 looking as though they were going to start breeding for the 1st time at the site.
Police need to get tough on this and make an example of these horrible people, its a heinous crime and a vile thing for anybody to even think about doing. I hope there are other cameras nearby with vital timed footage that can put suspects in the immediate vicinity, and also whatever footage may be held on the nest camera too.

Shocking news this morning regarding the Ospreys at Llyn Brenig near Denbigh, North Wales.
Vandals have felled the potential nest site platform with a chainsaw. 3 birds had been filmed using the platform form with a pair looking to start breeding.
Absolutely disgusting!

Today at 12.08pm Aran finely returned to the nest

Numbers of Osprey sightings up until 2nd April are down only 117 seen so far normally numbers are  around 160 this may be down to birders staying at home
