BRENIG OSPREYS 2020
THE YEAR SO FAR
As you know it has been a long way from normal this summer, in fact anything but, an extremely difficult and frustrating time for us all. Up to now we have only been able to pass on pictures and information about the Brenig Ospreys collected by North Wales Wildlife Trust from their Gors Maen Llwyd Reserve. Now finally we are able to bring you all up to date with what the Brenig ospreys have been up to this year, and the information everyone has been waiting for. Firstly, many thanks to you all for your patience, kind comments and following our blogs and web pages.
