Glaslyn osprey diary

 

Second egg laid in Glaslyn nest

Great news...moments ago a second egg was laid in the Glaslyn osprey nest at 2:56pm! Just before, the female had been flattened out across the nest like a great flat feathery pancake.  When she got up a minute later, the  first egg had been joined by an identical white speckly brother or sister.  It's impossible to say now which egg is which as they look just the same, but we will know when they hatch, as they hatch in the order that they were laid, several days apart.  The 35 expectant visitors that had been eagerly watching the screens exploded with glee.  There was lots of smiling, back-slapping and clapping.  Everyone's thrilled and already having thoughts about a third.  Could they make it a hat trick? We can expect it to arrive over the weekend if so...
