Dyfi Osprey Project

Thanks for the kind words folks. The Dyfi welcomed its first osprey chick in 400 years today and I'm really happy that so many local people were around to see it.

There's another chick chipping its way out of egg No3 so with any luck we'll have twins by the morning.

Today was a day I will never forget. I meant to ring so many people but sadly didn't get enough time - thank you everybody who have supported us in getting to this stage. Today, Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust stood up for wildlife conservation and won.

  1. As Chairman of MWT, I would like to record the sincere thanks of all the Trustees to the team of staff and volunteers at DOP, without whom this historic event would not have been possible.
    I hope Paul will allow me to add the contact for the Facebook page which can be viewed via http://www.montwt.co.uk/dyfiospreys.html and makes fascinating watching.(It is not necessary to sign in).
