Nature lovers at a Welsh caravan site have been treated to a special Easter gift from a family of ospreys, who have nested at a nearby nature reserve. The breeding pair arrived at the site, on Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust’s Cors Dyfi Reserve, near Machynlleth, earlier this month and have now produced their first egg.
This has caused great excitement at nearby five-star caravan site Morben Isaf Holiday Home and Touring Park at Derwenlas.
Jayne Hollingworth, one of the site’s managers, said: “It has been a long time coming and we are keeping everything crossed that it all works out for the ospreys. We are all very excited about the prospect of having osprey chicks next door.”
Project manager Emyr Evans added that ospreys have not been known to breed in this area for more than 400 years.
Caravan owners staying at Morben Isaf Park can visit the bird sanctuary and watch live footage of the ospreys on a large screen between 10am and 6pm every day.
