Unfortunately the live stream is not managed by North Wales Wildlife Trust and we have to ask other parties involved in the project to rectify this when it goes down, this is now back on and available on the Brenig Osprey Page , link at bottom of the page.

Wednesday 10th August

It was quite exciting watching the nest site today, an osprey flew off towards the dam area, both adults and chicks were seen on the nest and the 2 perches. LJ2 was bathing at the base of the nest, then one of the youngsters also decided have a bath in the same spot. All 4 were seen together on the nest and nest perch. LJ2 flew off in the direction of the dam and returned with a fish. Both chicks were seen eating on the nest with LJ2 watching from the camera perch and later on LM6 came back with a stick.

Thursday 11th August

More activity around the nest site, on and off the nest and perches, they also use the broken tree branches and tree stumps for perching. Fish deliveries and chicks feeding, watched as 2 ospreys were flying over Gors Maen Llwyd (NWWT nature reserve).

Friday 12th August

Very much an active nest site with the ospreys moving between the nest, perches as well as perching in the tree branches and stumps, eating and seen flying towards dam.

Saturday 13th August

Another great day watching them going between the nest and perches, flying out in the direction of the dam. KA9 on the nest incessantly calling,  LJ2 brought him a pike which he took off to a tree branch.

Hope this fills the gaps for you all.
