The Ospreys have nested at the site since around 1990
They initially on the top of a Electricity Pylon,( at this time was known as Meagle Pylon) However, due to a planned expansion of the site and following consultation with Roy Dennis MBE, a decision was taken to build a new nest on a specially designed 25 metre pole some 320 metres from the old nest, a couple of 8.5 Metre resting poles/perches were also erected. This work was carried out in March 2014.
Between 2014 and 2022 a total of 14 chicks have been seen to Fledge from the nest,according to reports the first chicks raised on the new platform didn’t happen until 2017( see BBC news item below).
As of 2022 the nest was occupied by an Unbanded Male and a Female Banded Blue HK0. No information is known regarding the Male, the Female was Hatched at a nest at Loch Awe Near Argyll, in 2014.
In 2022 the local school named the Ospreys, the male was named Harry and the female Flora, the three chicks that year were named Rowan, Hollie and Bonnie.
