Egg Competition - 2015

Guess When Glesni Will Lay Her First Egg!

Welcome to the first competition of the year!

Guess the date and time that Glesni will lay her first egg. Each guess has a minimum donation of £2 and all of that donation will go towards running the Dyfi Osprey Project. We have a Paypal button now too if you prefer Paypal (but please use the MyDonate button if you pay tax in the UK and can Gift Aid, that’s another 25% added to your donation by the tax man). You can have as many guesses as you like!!

The donate buttons are on the Live Streaming page.

1st Prize - New signed copy of the new book 'Ospreys In Wales: The First Ten Years'

MWT - Ospreys in Wales book cover

If you have the book, you can choose instead a DOP Baseball Cap and THREE pin-badges - Monty, Glesni and Ceulan (brand new - being delivered next week!!)

The competition is open worldwide - we will ship internationally.

Glesni laid her first egg in 2014 at 17 days after returning

A few tips:

1. Glesni and Monty have been back together for nine days today (Saturday), the first mating was in the afternoon of April 9th. The egg laying window opens around now.

2. Last year it was 17 days between first mating and first egg - but that was with a load of hassle from Blue 24. She's not had that in 2015 - the smart money is on a shorter time this year.

3. Female ospreys tend to lay eggs during daylight hours, but not always.

Make sure you state clearly your estimate. For example: “April 20th at 10:30 am"

Keep Calm and Look Down

GOOD LUCK!!
