Hi Patily.

I've tried the scroll back thing but can not find any signs of Aran for - three something hours.

Point Croesor is very close to the Glaslyn Visitor Osprey Centre.

It is from the visitor centre that one views the ospreys.

I do not know exactly what the distance is from the visitor centre to the nest but there is no way it is as far as 2.2km.

There is no other way of viewing the nest.

The distance between Glaslyn and the Pont Croesor nest is about 2.2 km as stated within their Bulletin: Blue 5F on the Pont Croesor Nest.

Quote:

We consulted with Dr. Tim Mackrill, formerly the head of the Rutland Osprey Project, now working with Roy Dennis. At our invitation he visited the Glaslyn to assess the position of the Pont Croesor nest in relation to the primary nest, which we now call the Glaslyn nest. He told us that he believed its position was not problematical. It stands about 2.2 kilometres from the primary nest.

However, wi th all due respect to Dr Mackrill we've seen that the position is problematic. The 5 F affair shows that.
Thanks Karen

Cirrus, I agree problematic but this discussion has been raised before and I am not going there :-)

I was merely confirming the distance which Richard GB asked about earlier and Starling replied as 2.2km and Tiger responded it wasn't as above. Post for clarity.

Mrs G flew off the perch a short while ago, went right and returned with a bunch of greenery.
