As we have had a monthly thread for Glaslyn since 2016, I have started the thread for April.

I hope we get an Easter present today with the arrival of Mrs.G or Aran, it is always such a relief when they return.
At the moment it is an Empty Nest.

OMG it is a howling gale, how Mrs.G is holding on is a miracle.

That'll teach me to whinge about the strapped-down sticks - at least they're giving her a very secure perch in this gale ;)
IMAGICAT
She's just flapped into the middle of the nest - - Aran was hovering above her but he didn't land on target (wind!) and is now on the opposite fence.
She’s not going far... still (or again?) there (eggspecting?...), and man issit blowing...
2016: first time in history an Osprey nested in the NL. 2018: 2 active nests! 2019 a storm interferes. 2020: a third active nest in a tree!
