We've now had a chance to have a proper look at all the nest infrastructure - and it's not good!
We put the Dyfi nest up in 2007 so it's had 10 good years of use and exposure to the harsh Atlantic weather. Before next season we will rebuild the nest up for Monty and Glesni before they return.
The larch tree looks a bit dodgy too, the weather and various enthusiastic woodpeckers having taken their toll.
Look out for a blog over the weekend with more info including when the DOP online shop will reopen with the 2018 DOP Calendar.

Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Thank you Kate. Have just seen the post on Facebook. As Clare says looking forward to the Blog and the shop details.
Birdies LG DU update.
Thank you for re posting SK2's info re the nest and next Blog ,Clare. And thank you SK2, too :) Yes, it certaainly is good to know Monty and Glesni are in such good hands.
Latest BLOG...just found it and about to read!
Wow, so many exciting plans.
Facebook update re Calendar next week. Currently being printed.
There are so many beautiful osprey/bird//wildlife calendars available this year, and I have bought one already, but the Dyfi one suits me for photos, places to actually write appointments, etc, and has nest facts! I will be ordering one for 2018!!
