Dyfi Osprey Project



Wondrous News - the Dyfi pair have laid their first ever egg - and the first for many centuries probably on the Dyfi.

It happened at 14.03 on Easter Monday - what an Easter Egg present!

This is the very moment it all came true.

I've seen grown men cry this afternoon, Emyr.

    The success of the Dyfi Osprey project is in large part due to efforts of Emyr and his team of staff and volunteers, without whom Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust could not achieve many of our objectives. Well done to all of you, and thank you on behalf of all the Trustees and Trust members.
