We are delighted to report that the Glaslyn Osprey chicks were ringed earlier this evening. The ringing process was very successful.
The eldest chick Blue 4R, weight 1605(g) wing length 320mm was assessed to be a female.
The younger chick Blue W0, weight 1320(g) wing length 296mm was assessed to be a male.
Wing measurements are from elbow to wingtip. Both chicks were alert and appeared healthy.
Glaslyn Wildlife wish to thank Adrienne and Kelvin,who supervised the ringing of the chicks by Darren, Friends of the Ospreys, who with the assistance of a team member also climbed the tree.
The actual ringing process took 40 mins.
After the ringing Mrs G returned to a conifer over looking the nest and then flew to the nest perch.
We truly appreciate how blessed we are to have these two beautiful chicks.
