‘You get attached to them’: nesting ospreys get villagers excited in Wales (www.theguardian.com)

At 9.15am the male bird took off and soared towards the reservoir in search of a meal. Sixty minutes later he was back, and over the next hour or so he and his mate took turns sharing the fish he had caught and sitting on their three eggs.

The appearance of these two ospreys on farmland in the Usk valley in mid-Wales is seen as a milestone in the recovery of the species.

It is believed to be the first time a pair has nested and produced eggs in these parts for more than 200 years, and the site is thought to be the farthest south in the UK for a pair that has not been deliberately reintroduced.
