Caravan enthusiasts staying at the Morben Isaf Holiday Home and Touring Park in Wales this summer could be in for a treat.
According to newswales.co.uk, the first of three osprey chicks which recently hatched at the Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust’s Cors Dyfi Reserve at Derwenlas has taken to the air for the first time.
What is more amazing is that the triplets are the first ospreys to have hatched on the River Dyfi since 1604.
Caravan site managers Dave and Jayne Hollingworth have been keeping a close eye on the development of the chicks.
“Our owners on the park are thrilled by the news and there has been a lot of interest in the ospreys from visiting touring caravan owners and campers,” Mrs Hollingworth said.
She was at the visitor centre to see the first chick hatch in June and is delighted to hear that the rare bird – named Einion – has managed to take its maiden flight.
Ospreys are sometimes known as sea hawks or fish eagles and can grow to 24 inches in length with wingspans of up to two metres.
