One egg laid early and dispensed with, two further eggs being cherished by MrsG and Aran.
It's been a wet April in Wales. Intruders a-plenty, but Aran seems to have forsaken his 'other woman' and is devoted to MrsG and his eggs.
This morning @ about 0935hr - a fish for MrsG:
Delivery with rather weak sound, but it's something ;-)
IMAGICAT
The eggs appeared to be ok after the incident but it seems that this saga is by no means over yet....sadly.
Birdies LG DU update.
Its lovely to see Clarach, but not like this Strange that Aran and Mrs G don't see her off Worried about Mrs G not getting fish
I just hope if Aran brings another fish that Clarach will not grab it as she still has her tail piece... not a happy situation this at all.
I can't keep up!
Mrs G got off the eggs as Arran returned. He looked as if he was going to settle but flew followed by Mrs G!. Clarach stood on the rim eating then Mrs G returned and settled again??
Immediately prior to that I was about to post this which is unique in my experience. Resident adult female incubating with mature Female intruder eating on the nest rim!

In the midst of all the action this was the scene.
Looks like a 'Mexican standoff'!
Poor MrsG it does seem as if Clarach is just freeloading. I am beginning to think Aran is not the correct partner for MrsG his behaviour has been a tad off this year.
Mrs G checked and turned the eggs just now but Clarach showed no interest.
