North Wales - Day 3 - Glaslyn Osprey



My third and final day took me to Bywyd Gwyllt Glaslyn Wildlife to see one of three pairs of Ospreys that breed in Wales. The female Osprey “Glaslyn” was anchored down on an egg whilst her partner was out hunting. The helpful staff advised me it had been a very tramatic year for the Glaslyn as her current partner was her third of the year after her  partner from previous years had not returned sadly. Hopefully she will have a couple of more eggs in the coming days (normally 3 days apart) and has a healthy summer.

Heading towards home I picked up more Pied Flycatcher along the roadside to ease the journey time back to the Midlands.
