The Glaslyn Osprey Project is a wildlife conservation initiative centered around a pair of nesting ospreys near Porthmadog. Visitors can watch these magnificent birds of prey from a dedicated viewing area equipped with telescopes and live cameras. The project has successfully protected the ospreys since their return to Wales, offering a rare chance to see them fishing, feeding chicks, and soaring over the Glaslyn estuary. Interpretive displays explain the ospreys' life cycle and the conservation efforts that have made their comeback possible.
