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.

The rain has stopped.
Birdie Num Num's brilliant DU summary 2017
Unusual....I thought the chicks were alone but a bird has just flown to the perch but not in cam view
3 GEMS on their own on the nest
When I went back to the cam, Aran must have delivered a fish and Mrs.G has the 3 GEMS lined up for a feed.
Aran gone. #3 is right up there and getting a good feed. Mrs G got distracted and #1 started to eat for himself.
Fish has almost gone. #2 and #3 are resting. #1 who had finished earlier is back for the final scraps.
Fish gone.
Chicks alone Crashed out
Mrs.G looking over her three chicks. I am sure they grow overnight.
