Today I watched 2 Ospreys soaring in gale force winds above Bwlch-y-Gle at the south end of Llyn Clywedog. John Williams reports unringed male and female on the new nest there on 5 Apr. Thanks John.
Seren, the female just arrived on the original Clywedog nest, in snow, 28 March.
Many thanks to Emyr Evans and John Williams and their teams for the livestreams.
