Natural History Wanderings

The Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust’s Dyfi Osprey Project reported that Osprey have bred in the Dyfi Valley at a Powys Nature Preserve in the UK. The last report of Osprey breeding in the Dyfi valley is believed to be over 400 years ago in 1604. They were born in a manmade nest atop a fifty foot pole.  The three chicks, two male and one female, have been fitted with radio trackers in hopes of tracking their flight to  wintering grounds in Africa.
