Nerding and birding

Combining two of my favourite past-times.. nerding and birding! 🦅


While exploring the Ceredigion coastline in mid-Wales, we stumbled upon the Dyfi Osprey Project.


This was a great opportunity to tick osprey in the bird book, but also, check out this setup which is proudly on show in the visitor centre... Nine Tesla power banks with plenty of onsite PV.


At this point in the day (3pm), the site had been off-grid for 99% of the day.


We need more of these systems front-and-centre to show off what's possible. I'm sure there are many similar setups out there that are hidden out of public's view.
