What we do in our spare time....

Ospreys nest in Glen Tanar.

Usually 2 chicks make it: we check and ring them.

An osprey  feeding perch, on the Duoro estuary.
Each summer, ospreys nest and raise chicks in Glen Tanar.
In Autumn, they fly off to Africa: we heard of one from the Glen fishing in Guinea Bissau.
En route, they stop off to feed at the coast. This reclaimed reserve, at the mouth of the Duoro,sees osprey each autumn.
It was great to visit the site, and make contact with the folk who look after it.
