Link to JULY 2022
Our Osprey family taken on 7th July, 2022.
Our chicks on 31st July, 2022. Olwen flying in to join her family.
This was a new nest erected for 2022 season to replace the one vandalised in 2021 after this pair and just laid their first egg.
Our male, blue LJ2 (2018 South Argyll) arrived on 6th April 2022.
Our female, blue LM6 (2018 Menteith, Stirling) arrived on 10th April 2022.
This is our young adult osprey pair’s first successful breeding season.
First egg 25th April. Second egg 28th April. Third egg 1st May.
Eggs hatched 1st June, 3rd June, 5th June (3rd chick died on day of hatching)
Chicks ringed ringed 4th July, chick #1 blue X6 female, chick #2 blue KA9 male.
Chicks named 7th July - X6 Olwen - KA9 Gelert as chosen by public vote on Brenig Facebook.
8th July, it was noticed LM6’s blue darvic ring had split and fallen off her leg onto the nest on 7th July. She now only has a silver BTO ring on her right leg.
The first born chick, X6/Olwen fledged at 55 days old at 12.45 on 26th July.
The second born chick KA9/Gelert fledged at 55 days old at 07.29 on 28th July.
Today on 1st August, the chicks are 61 and 59 days old respectively.

A super round-up, Glider! Thank you so much for all of the coverage, you've done a fab job!
Safe onward journeys to them all and hope to see LM6 and LJ2 back at Llyn Brenig next season.
Thanks Sandra and thanks for all your support throughout.

Good morning. Just looking back over websites etc and found this had been posted on the North Wales Wildlife Trust website on 31st August. I’ve always had trouble accessing this site with the page freezing but it was good for me today! Better late than never!

North Wales Wildlife trust also posted a timeline of events for this year, which they added to their earlier post on their website.
I didn’t know LJ2 was spotted on the nest on the 7th September?
I wonder where all our beautiful birds are now? Hopefully safe and well on their journeys, having good success with fishing.

I do hope they have a better internet connection this season - it's the one bane on their sterling efforts and the lovely birds.
