BREAKING NEWS:
Look at these two.... These are Merin's first ever chicks, he's breeding in The Lake District, Cumbria!
He has two girls and they were ringed last week: Blue 460 and 461.
Merin (2015 bird) was first spotted back in Denmark trying to breed (unsuccessfully) but is now happily breeding in England – on a natural, osprey-built nest.
With Aeron and Tegid breeding in north Wales, this means that Monty and Glesni have now had FOUR birds return and successfully breed in THREE different countries. Clarach bred in Aberfoyle, Scotland and may still be there.
What a legacy.
A zillion thanks to Peter Davies who ringed Merin's chicks and sent us all this information. We are absolutely euphoric

Dysynni (Blue 490) had a plan and fledged to the cam pole
Re: Dyfi Wales, UK - Osprey Cam 2021
Blue 490 missed some fish snacks but later he took off from perch pole and after Telyn had left, he flew with elegance back to the nest

All the news posted here is so delightful! That they had 4 successful come backs in chicks is just beyond super. And now these are fledging. I am thrilled Ferenz, thank you.

Ystwyth has reached the average age for females to fledge at this nest - 52 days old. Egged on by her brother, will she pluck up the courage to get airborne today...?

2021 Cam Maintenance
Matching Drive
Matching Drive
A little over 17 weeks ago, we met Tiku from our Surrey Reserve nest; this is just before he or maybe she made it all the way out of the shell:
And now Tiku and Tucca from Surrey Reserve and Hope and Chase from Delta 2 have all set out to explore the world.
We do still have one young eagle to watch - this is Romeo from our White Rock nest, who hatched 6 weeks later than Tiku:
At 11 weeks, he (or maybe she) is practicing perching on the nest supports and exercising those big wings. Eaglets generally fledge (take their first flight) between 10 and 14 weeks, and it's my guess that will happen in the next week or so.
And you know - I haven't really thought about this before - but our little window to access the nests and clean the cams and do any other necessary work isn't always that much longer than the 35-40 days it takes an egg to hatch. Last year the Surrey Reserve adults didn't leave until August 14 (though they weren't visiting very often after Thor left in mid-July) - and Dad Sur was back on September 26. Different pairs have different schedules - and it can vary from year to year - so it would be great if we could get ready now.
With that in mind....
We will be posting more details about our Adopt-a-Nest program, the new option to adopt one of our eagles with a tracker (details soon), the Monthly Donor program - and the work we need to do on the 10 cameras we now have at five different nests.
The important thing to know is that at least the first $1000 in donations toward our cam maintenance fund drive will be matched by long-time supporters of Hancock Wildlife - so the time to donate is now!
Details about How to Donate

Thank You!
