THE Dyfi Osprey Project is celebrating the arrival of the first egg of the 2021 season.
Laid this morning just before 10am, the project confirmed the arrival for Idris and Telyn on its social media page.
Telyn the osprey returned to the project's Machynlleth-based nest last month, with new mate Idris, and it is hoped there will be more chicks to hatch this summer.
The Dyfi Osprey Project project began in 2009 with the aims of supporting and conserving the osprey population in Wales and delivering an osprey project with communities at its heart.
More than 30,000 people visited the project base that year as ospreys began to circle overhead.
