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.

Just read back So sad that Aran appears to have abandoned 5F She must be starving Another tragedy
Thank you, KAREN, for such a comprehensive and informative start to the month of June :)
Just doing a catchup, maybe fill in a gap or two... except, I've been getting black screens periodically :(

First feed - Aran has just delivered a part-eaten fish and MrsG feeds that one to the chicks rather than the one she's been sitting on for much of the night ;)
Another part-fish per Aran:
MrsG took it and began the feed that PATILY reported on:
MrsG seemed to "unearth" the flounder:
