Osprey return to Glaslyn
The ospreys are back in Wales! No...not the rugby team, the birds!
The male osprey was spotted in an adjacent field to the nest site eating a large fish, and the female osprey was spotted at this morning at 7am.
An osprey pic from 2009:
Osprey spend their winters in West Africa and travel thousands of miles to return to Glaslyn every year to breed and raise their chicks.
The chicks from 2009 - named Glaslyn, Glesni and Gwenlli by children from Rhosgadfan Primary School will stay in Africa for the next few years, perfecting their amazing fishing skills.
You can keep go and see them for yourselves every day from 10 am until 6 pm until the end of August and is free!
for more details.There is also an at the Cors Dyfi site near Borth so I'm sure they are all excited about this recent sighting as well.
Fingers crossed that the birds decide to stick around and raise some young.
If you've spotted the osprey then .
Not sure what to look for? Watch some osprey videos.
See pics of the ospreys in 2008.

I got all excited then thinking someone had seen an osprey! ;)
Red Kites are however a huge success story in Wales though, so much so that we're sending our birds elsewhere as part of breeding programmes in the UK.
You're pretty much guaranteed to see one now if you drive up to Aberystwyth from the south or head through Mid Wales.
