Today Einion is eight months old exactly. He was the first osprey chick to scramble out of an osprey egg in 400 years on the Dyfi, mid-Wales. His short life so far has been quite eventful - after hatching on June 5th, he was ringed and satellite tagged 44 days later on July 19th. At 52 days old, he flew for the first time, and five weeks exactly after fledging his nest, he set off on migration at the age of 87 days.
