The season so far:
Mrs G arrived back on the 22nd March followed later by her mate, Aran on the 7th April. Mrs G laid three eggs on the 19th, 22nd, and 25th April and have now hatched. #1 hatched on the 26th, #2 on the 27th and #3 on the 29th May.
Aran has also been visiting and providing for the female, Blue 5F at a nearby nest referred to as the Traeth or Pont Croesor nest. Blue 5F laid three eggs on the 28th April, 2nd and 4th May. One egg was predated by a crow on the 4th May and the remaining two are due to hatch later this week.
Aran has been seen more at his own nest and is regularly providing fish for Mrs G and the chicks but has not delivered any fish to Blue 5F since Saturday 27 May. Soon we should learn if Aran has abandoned Blue 5F and her eggs.

Brilliant! They'll do well with lots of fish to start them growing!
Do we have any more news on poor 5F?
Lovey pics Karen and so good to know which chick is being fed. Thank you. Hello Patiy and Lindy
Aran delivers a very nice headless fish
Before feeding begins, a fight breaks out!

Just read she went fishing and crows might have taken one of the eggs.
Horrible situation this is :(

Do you mean a second egg lost to corvids Starling. ? I just gleaned this from Dyfi chat: JulieD : Good Evening. Glaslyn have updated again re 5F,
it seems she still has 2 eggs & is now incubating.
It would actually be a blessing to have the eggs predated in as much as I simply couldn't stand starving chicks again
Hi Cirrus, I went to find where I read it and there has been an update saying still 2 eggs.
Starling it is one of the comments on their Facebook post.
I've just revived the cam to find MrsG in her familiar wet state :(
