Oh this thread has been neglected.
Anyway the up to date data is here
Really good blog of Nora's first egg.
Last night I wrote a bit about Monty over at RSPB.

Just back from a week in the Dyfi area, spent quite a bit of time chatting to the staff at this superb location. My only criticism (and it's a big one) is that the nest platform is quite simply too far away at 700 metres, and although the new live high definition television views are top class in the visitors centre, I just don't want to see Ospreys on television, I can do that at home, the Montgomery Wildlife Trust must provide consideraby closer public viewing, I understand it will cost a tidy amount, but a substantial amount has already been spent, I don't believe enough thought really went into it. The birds put up with the rail network coastal train passing very closely virtually round the clock, so it's hardly likely a well positioned hide is going to cause any harm or problems.
The staff are doing an excellent job and my suggestion in no way detracts from the hard and dedicated work they and the MWT volunteers are doing.

Good news and sad news from Dyfi, the good news is that Nora & Monty have two healthy chicks, the sad news is that one of the three young that hatched has died, heavy rain played it's part in the tragedy, but nature will always take it's course, for good or bad.
Lets hope that they now thrive, the past few days and the current weather conditions have made for a rather worrying and emotional time, it's such a pity that the warm weather we had during the latter part of May could'nt have continued through the critical stages of egg hatching and the 'downy stage' of these young Ospreys lives, but lets remain positive, they have two excellent parents.
Further details can be found on the Dyfi Osprey Project website, the link can be found above.
