Having received an email from a friend of mine (Owen of R and R travel) telling me of good Raptor passage in Cyprus today (many Steppe and Honey Buzzards, Black Kites, Marsh and Montagu's Harriers and a lone light phase Booted Eagle) I spent all afternoon at the Dyfi Osprey project looking at an empty nest !! However, that is excellent news as having fledged three chicks possibly this morning was the day the last of them went off for the winter. Not only is this the first breeding in the Dovey for many years but the first time the breeding of both birds of a new pair has been studied in such detail. Not only that but the results and info have been made freely available to thousands of visitors as well as providing good views. Many congratulations to the Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust and the Dyfi Osprey team. If only we had this in Pembrokeshire!!
