Several new ospreys chicks have hatched in north Wales over the past fortnight, conservationists have announced.<\/p>\n

Osprey pair Elen and Teifi, in the Glaslyn Valley, in Gwynedd, have three new baby birds, as do their neighbours Blue and Aeron.<\/p>\n

Another pair, whose nest can also be viewed at Glaslyn Ospreys Centre, near Porthmadog, also has chicks.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, former Glaslyn male Aran<\/a> has a new mate which has hatched a chick on a fresh nest.<\/p>\n

The centre staff do not know for sure how many new chicks there are in total because, although they have cameras positioned near some of them, not all nests have a close-up shot.<\/p>\n

The pairs can be seen at Gwynedd osprey centre thanks to a partnership between conservation groups Glaslyn Ospreys and Friends of the Ospreys.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the groups said: “Over two decades of successful conservation efforts in the Glaslyn Valley by Glaslyn Ospreys and the Friends of the Ospreys group has made the centre at Pont Croesor one of the key osprey viewing locations in the UK.”<\/p>\n

It has previously been estimated there are about 270 pairs of ospreys in Scotland, about 25 pairs in England and five in Wales<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Several new ospreys chicks have hatched in north Wales over the past fortnight, conservationists have announced.
