Dyfi are going to have a nest mic this season : https://www.facebook.com/dyfiospreyproject?ref=ts&fref=ts
You just want them to get home Mary and then the relief turns into excitement. Alan P reported more than 2 Ospreys spotted in Wales yesterday, I think, maybe Nora also will be home soon :)
Missed out Wales :)
I know B&B, I think we are all anxious because of the weather. Cannot believe just how many sightings there have been.

Lovely views over Snowdonia from Pont Croesor Mike but the actual nest is so far away.

Chloe - I know you have visited a few of the Osprey Centres, so is Dyfi nest further away than for instance the LG Nest? Which of the nests (apart from Lochter) that you would say were the closest to the Hides?
Not sure on distances Mary but Dyfi, LG and LOTL all need scopes, bins and decent telephoto lenses but much more viewable than Glaslyn. Perhaps similar distances and would guess Dyfi closer than LG. The new Dyfi observatory is being built closer to the nest so that should definitely make it the nearest I think. The Manton Bay nest is quite close to the furthest couple of hides from the Lyndon Centre at RW ie Shallow Water and Waderscrape, quite a long walk to those, so very good views from there.
Thanks Chloe, was wondering if Dyfi was further away than LotL or LG, but you say about the same. So you reckon Manton Bay is probably closest to the hides. I intend visiting the Bassenthwaite nest in April, have you ever been there?
I cannot be sure of this but I think that the new observatory at Dyfi will be much closer than any centre up to now.
Oh well must include Dyfi on the places to visit (sometime)!!!!
