Farewell to this year's Ossies!

With great regret, I post our last Osprey visit-getting too old - us not the birds!!! -meaning time is flying! A visit to the Clwyedog and 2 Ospreys still , followed by the Dyfi pair-well, what's left! An exciting display , as bossy Alys tried to grab a fish from Helyg, but otherwise , all slows down. We have to thank Emyr and Jan , never mind Alwyn and all those wonderful volunteers for another grand season at the centre. Great job guys and keep it up! Here's to next year...
