THE LOCH GARTEN GABFEST FOR MAY, 2017

Keith did you manage to get to Glaslyn and if so what's your impression.

Wrong thread

58WILLOW - I think your osprey moment of 2017 has just happened. S1 returned to Manton Bay today and intruded at the nest then perched on the T perch beside the nest.

Lmac - I am working in Pembroke for two weeks. Last weekend went to Dyfi and this weekend break visiting Llyn Clywedog Reservoir and Glaslyn and probably drop in at Dyfi again. I have already gathered views from one side but it is unfair to comment until I speak to others on other sides but I will get back to you personally on the topic I guess you are enquiring about. Think from reading FB there is another ON6 to look at but I would not disturb what could be a future pairing so will not.

EJ laid the first 2017 season egg on April 7 + 34 days is May 11th.  That is this Thursday, day after tomorrow that we can start expecting the first chick.

(If my calculations are correct).

JUNE - The early 34 days Chloe quotes is for Egg #3. No first egg in the last 10 years has hatched that early at LG. Average 36 days but there was a 35 day hatching in 2011. I would say hang on till the weekend. Awaiting LOTL and Rutland to hatch first.

Keith, I wish you good weather for Osprey watching for this weekend and look forward to your next trip report.  We will visit northwest Wales in the summer so any suggestions for places to go (in addition to Dyfi and Glaslyn) will be much appreciated.

Great Keith look forward to hearing from you and thank you for all your travels and reports for our benefit x

Good afternoon all. Keith I discovered that S1 had returned after reading the end of the Manton Bay thread first ( like reading a book backwards!). I am so delighted that S1 has returned it has made my day! I also was pleased to see that Maya has a bobblehead! B33 will be run ragged in the coming days! Hell take it all in his stride being the super fisherman that he is :) S1 special to me as they were the first weve seen and watched for hours dipping their feet in the water, a complete joy!

I have not managed to log in to the site for a while as so busy lately but what a great time to log in and has made my day! I of course am delighted when any youngsters arrive on their first journey "home"
