Welcome to the 2015 Guess the Chick Hatching Competition!

Guess the date and time that the first chick will hatch. 

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 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 and they don't take a cut either, it's worth an extra 30% almost). You can have as many guesses as you like!!

The donate buttons are on the Live Streaming page.

And here’s the 1st prize - a stunning A3 portrait of Glesni in flight showing every last detail - SUPERB. The image is professionally framed and we will send it to you wherever you are in the world. Competition open to all.

The 1st prize Glesni print will be professionally printed, framed and sent to you (worldwide)

Alternate 1st prize of your choosing: New book - Ospreys In Wales: The First Ten Years

We have a 2nd and 3rd prize also... A "Keep Calm and Look Up" mug. These will be sent to you as well.

A few tips:

1. Normal incubation for ospreys is between 35 - 42 days

2. The incubation period depends on lots of factors - weather, time invested in incubation, how easily the chick managed to break free. Chicks usually hatch during daylight - but not always.

3. The actual time of hatching will be recorded as the very first time the chick is free and independent of its egg

Make sure you say clearly your estimate - For example: “June 8th at 10:30 am"

Monty and Glesni's behaviour has subtly changed during the last day or two - they are eating their fish on the nest for example. They will both now be able to hear and feel their chicks in the eggs. It won't be long now..

The three eggs in 2015 - the first egg is far right. When will it hatch?!!

Keep Calm and Look Down

GOOD LUCK!!
