Ospreys return to Cors Dyfi Nature Reserve 

April 2010. Four ospreys were seen in or around the nest on Easter Sunday - a big surprise to everyone at the reserve! Three ospreys can still be seen around the reserve including the female from 2009; the other two seem to be a pair but are not nesting as far as anyone can see. The female has been seen eating a huge flounder on her usual perch next to the nest and tends to spend around half of her time on the nest.

A pair of ospreys nested here in 2009, albeit unuccesfully. They are only the second known pair of ospreys in Wales.
