I hope Aran the owner of the main nest in Glaslyn leaves him alone.

The beautiful Dyfi marsh


Clarach > by CATRIN FINCH & SECKOU KEITA

About the track:

Clarach is the name of the first Dyfi osprey in modern times to be born in Wales and subsequently return from Africa as an adult to rear her own chicks in the UK. Back in the Middle Ages, Wales had a large osprey population, but they were persecuted to extinction. Their ancient presence proves that migration between Senegal and Wales is nothing new. “I like the bird’s freedom to migrate to different places,” Seckou says. “They soar their way, and nothing stops them, but they know where they’re heading, where they’ll find peace and be happy. I’ve been on the same journey, but in a different way.” The shift from minor to major echoes the emotional journey of the migrant.

Many egg losses and so much sadness this season but great joy about brilliantly returning offsprings: Come on Telyn & Mrs G we need some more successful hatches and fledgelings

Tegid was our only surviving chick from 2016
after his sister Ceri died.

I hope from now on it runs in all nests, no matter where, only well.

Tegid visited his birth nest.

Dyfi, Wales - Merin and Tegid Return
Posted: Friday 25th May 2018 by Emyr MWT

What could be better than news of a Dyfi chick returning as an adult? A. Two birds returning of course. And so it was last week. Welsh osprey ringer Tony Cross messaged me early Wednesday morning to say that a Blue W1 (Merin - a male chick from the 2015 brood) was nesting in Denmark.

DENMARK???!!!

Merin is not the first British osprey to favour a more continental lifestyle. A Cumbrian osprey has been doing the northern European rounds, including Denmark, for a while. A Rutland male, another three-year-old like Merin, is currently in the Netherlands - his second year there.

No 14 from the Lake District Osprey Project.

Jutland and Philopatry

Merin's nest in north-west Jutland, Denmark, is around 560 miles (900 km) away from his natal Welsh nest.

Of all the Welsh offspring that have returned to date that have either bred, or made serious attempts to, none of them are nearer than 100 miles (160km) from their natal nest.

Returning Welsh offspring that are/have breeding

Four of Glesni's offspring have already returned as adults
