Dyfi Osprey Project

Today at 10.20am we saw the third egg hatch in the Dyfi nest. Absolutely incredible scenes in the visitor centre when the female osprey stood up to reveal a tiny chick pushing it's way into the world. A second hatched yesterday morning at 06.35 so now we have a full house.

A big thanks to everybody that has helped and sent their regards over the last few days and weeks - the last three days have been wonderful and a privilege to have witnessed. As Iolo said on Springwatch earlier talking about ospreys.. " the best news to come out of Wales for the past 20 years"
