A rare and protected Osprey nest was chopped down in Wales, police say
Police in Wales want to know who cut down an osprey nesting platform on Friday, sending the rare and protected birds’ nest and their freshly-laid egg crashing into the lake below.
The Brenig Osprey Project said in a post on social media that the “horrific act of vandalism” happened at about 9:45 p.m. at Brenig Lake, a reservoir in Northern Wales.
There were cameras on the platform and the organization had just celebrated the breeding pair laying an egg the day before.
The North Wales Police Rural Crime Team said in a tweet on Saturday that they believe the suspect or suspects arrived by boat to cut down the platform.
