A pair of ospreys nesting in the Usk valley of mid-Wales represents an extraordinary milestone, marking the first time in over 200 years that they have nested and produced eggs in this area. This sighting is particularly significant as it indicates a natural recovery, without deliberate reintroduction, making it the southernmost nesting site in the UK. Volunteers are actively monitoring the ospreys, who share the responsibilities of feeding and caring for their eggs, with the young ospreys expected to migrate thousands of miles to Africa come summer.
Ospreys nesting and producing eggs in the Usk valley marks a significant recovery milestone, indicating a thriving population that hasn't been seen in 200 years.
The ospreys' presence in Powys highlights the area's suitability for them, with abundant fish, making it a vital breeding ground.
