BLUE24 RETURNS. It was great to welcome back BLUE24 to her nest at Llyn Brenig on 22nd March 2020, just one day earlier than last year. She wasted no time in fussing around her nest and making a scrape in readiness for her eggs, she just needed HR7 back on the nest.

WHERE IS HR7? Days went by and still no sign of HR7, so BLUE24 took herself off on a day trip to the Clywedog nest. She is probably not the most patient of ospreys as we have observed at times when she wanted KA5 (Roli) back on the nest and he had other ideas

FINALLY . The days had now turned into a week then more days, yes we were all getting very concerned, where is HR7? Finally, on 5th April 2020 HR7 joined BLUE24 on the Brenig nest. Exactly 2 long weeks after BLUE 24 and 13 days later than 2019 when they both arrived back on 23rd March 2019. Welcome back HR7.
