Could this be the last time we see all four of the Glaslyn birds together this season?

We last saw Mrs G in the Glaslyn valley on this date last year, the 2nd of September. She has been seen on the nest this morning, before flying off towards the estuary. Has she gone fishing? Or have we seen her for the last time this year? We'll have to wait and see.

Aran, Mrs G and KA0 were all still present this evening and all three have eaten today.

KA4 has not been seen since Wednesday evening, so it is looking increasingly like she has begun her journey south. Safe travels beautiful girl.

September 7th and we still have three out of the four Glaslyn ospreys with us.

It is not unusual for the Glaslyn birds to be late starting their migration, this is probably down to the fact that the female osprey, Mrs G, is a long-staying osprey. She is regularly one of the earliest birds to return from migration and one of the last to leave.

Since BGGW took over the running of the project in 2014, Mrs G has never migrated earlier than September 2nd. In the years prior to that, she was recorded as having been last spotted during August on only three occasions; namely 2007, 2010 and 2013. The protection site was not closely monitored in August during the years it was not managed by BGGW, there were fewer camera views available and no sound, so it is possible that the ospreys remained longer than our records show. In 2011 Mrs G laid her earliest ever egg on 2nd April, the last remaining chick was spotted on the 26th August that year, but both the old male, 11(98) and Mrs G were sighted on 2nd September.

We had good sightings of both Aran and Mrs G flying over the Visitor Centre with fish this morning. There might still be a chance to catch a sight of our ospreys before they start their migration south.

KA 0 is still there...nice close ups from her.

[Birdfriend]

The cam ops are very busy with follow their ospreys and one pic shows the landscape there.

[Birdfriend]

I have the cam still open, KA O was on the nest or on the perch for some hours and was calling for fish, but no sights of Aran or Mrs.G. Are they both gone?

Look who's still here. Mrs G gave us all a treat this morning as she ate her breakfast on the perch. Could this be the last time we get to see her up close this season?





KA0 got breakfish from Aran

[Birdfriend]

Wow, great, she is still there...I took some close ups too. She is such a beautiful osprey female.

[Birdfriend]

She is soo beautiful, many thanks to the cam op!

[Birdfriend]

The two crows would like to have the rest from the fish, but no...this fish is only for her.



I cross my fingers, that she and Aran will be back healthy next spring.
