Extra security measures may be brought in to protect ospreys after their nest site was cut down with a chainsaw.
Conservationists replaced a platform destroyed on Friday at Llyn Brenig, which borders Conwy and Denbighshire.
An existing platform was opened to the birds on Saturday but the original platform has now been replaced.
Staff at Brenig Osprey Project say they will establish what security measures can be put in place if the birds decide to use one of the platforms.
There are five pairs of ospreys in Wales and the birds and their eggs are protected under the Wildlife & Countryside Act which makes it an offence to interfere with them or their nest.
Wow, this is absolutely awful . I'm glad it's back up - although, that obviously won't bring back the egg that was laid the previous day...
I hope they can find whoever did this, and bring them to justice.
