The season so far:
Mrs G arrived back on the 22nd March and her mate, Aran on the 7th April. Mrs G laid three eggs on the 19th, 22nd, and 25th April. Currently both adults are taking turns to incubate the eggs which are expected to hatch around the end of May.
At the nearby second platform, the Traeth nest, Blue 5F has laid an egg on the 28th April which is likely to be Arans!!

He is on the perch 2 reasonable fish on the nest now
Morning and thanks for the updates. Good to know there is fish about and the chicks have been fed
Same scene as Patily describes in her post above
As I type Mrs G takes a comfort break
She returns within a minute and settles down on the chicks

A short breakfast and Aran brought his fish to the nest and returned to the perch. (I wonder how his other family is faring?)

Me too Scylla! I do feel for 5F and her first egg will be due to hatch next week I think?
If there are chicks then of course I hope Aran manages but the down side of that is that this will be regarded a success and the nest will stay!
Mrs G continues to incubate with two fish around her and Aran close by on the perch. I wonder if he has been there all morning?
Mrs G feeding the chicks just now
and a close up of the remaining egg
Mrs G gives the chicks some air. One fish still on the nest and Aran still about on the perch getting tucked into the other
a little shuffle from Mrs G .... I am wondering if there is a crack in the 3rd egg?
Aran is still about watching over Mrs G and the chicks from the perch
As I type he has flown but returns quickly with stick. Mrs G not too happy and Aran removes it
Mrs G quickly checks the chicks and egg Aran returns to the perch
Every time I have looked in today, Aran has been around.
Does anyone have any news of the other nest and 5F?
Quick check and I see a large fish on the nest in front of Mrs G and Aran on the perch.
Looking really good here .. there has been plenty fish today and Aran has been about almost all day.
