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

But fabulous news!

Thank you for the links Sandra. I hope he does stick around, that would be a great outcome.

YAY!!!! That is brilliant news. Gwynant was such a beautiful looking osprey. A 2014 chick, it is wonderful that he has survived four years, and bodes well for his future. Whether he returned two years ago we will never know. Let's hope he doesn't have a nest and a mate of his own so far, and that he and 5F bond!! Will we see Deri too?

Will be interesting to see and hear about Aran vs 3R-Gwynant....
Aran was flying differently flightpaths after catching fish earlier this week, straight over the VC... was Gwynant in the neighbourhood allready?
Oh the things that we will never know for sure.
And oh, if there could be two active nests so close together after all?!!
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!
Our view right now, a well known view too:
And these are from thursday, the “other view”, there was a lot of wind which is never captured in a still.
@ 8:31 mrs G is on the other perch
by 9:00h it is Aran’s time, and he needed a thorough preen.
Sorry to be late with these, and to disrupt the timeline here. I still felt it worthwhile to see them both use this, posisbly in certains wind-directions? just a guess there.
So exciting about Gwynant but sad news about poor 5F's egg
Wouldn't it be wonderful if Gwynant and 5F made a pair?
Heard Mrs G shouting excitedly but when I looked in at the nest she was sitting quietly incubating so don't know what that was about
I cannot access the update on 5F on FB as keeps moving on to photos therefore unable to read the news.
Could someone please tell me what the post said about 5F's egg?
Thanks in advance.
As far as I can see Karen, it's just news that she laid her first egg this morning, and that it is assumed to be Aran's.
