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!!

Unknown said: Where's the *************FISH?????????????
On the *********** PERCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
.
Oh tut! Some osplet has pooped on it :(
It's here.
Aran has just brought the fish to the nest. Bad snap but I'm in a hurry ;) It was essentially a headless fish :)
Mrs G feeding the chicks just now
Well, Well, Well .... Aran is getting none and definitely not getting to take the fish away!
Mrs G has dragged the fish across the chicks placing it in the cup with the chicks and now covered the chicks and the fish!

I hope the chicks are OK!
Mrs G is now settled and Aran preens on the perch
Good girl Mrs G . You have a rogue mate in my opinion but this would never have happened if ......... . Aran MAY be trying to share his hunting between two nests WITHOUT doing duplicate work .
