[Animals] Gwynedd osprey charity gives up hope bird will ever return

A female osprey that has been coming to Wales to breed for 20 years may never return, a conservation charity fears.

Mrs G was due to return to Glaslyn Ospreys, Porthmadog, Gwynedd, for the 20th time this year.

Her partner, Aran, arrived on 3 April without Mrs G there to greet him and he has since spent much of the time alone on the nest.

Heather Corfield of Glaslyn Ospreys said staff were "upset" despite always knowing this day would eventually come.

Mrs G is one of the UK's most successful breeding female ospreys and had been breeding since 2004 in the nest she and her first partner built.
