Sunday 1st April
Mrs G returns just after 2pm (time to be confirmed)
Thursday 5th April
On two separate occasions, Rutland-born female, Blue 3J, and Scottish male, Blue HR7, visit the nest. HR7 was seen around Glaslyn last year, Mrs G seems comfortable with him and they later mate.
Later in the evening there is an unringed male osprey on the scene, who looks very much like Aran. When he lands on the Glaslyn nest with the remains of a fish there is no mantling and no attempt to share the fish with Mrs G
[This male is later confirmed to be Aran]
Friday 6th April
Aran brings Mrs G a large trout at 11.04am and this year's breeding season begins

Currently ENS. I don't think I've seen a garfish recently, but I can hardly say I've been glued to this nest! Wasn't it Glesni who hated them?

Not sure about Glesni, Sheila, but there's a very funny video of Nora and a garfish on the Dyfi nest
The Garfish
LOL thank you for the memory, Alison!! Clearly it didn't look like a mullet or a flounder!!
Good afternoon, all.
Here's KS2 now:

A juvie was just screaming as if expecting a fish, but the cam is still focused on this one:

From Heather Corfield from me on FB:
We have seen KS3 today. She had a headless flounder that Aran delivered this morning and then had another one just after lunch. She was only on the nest for around two minutes, so she may have been missed.
CATCHUP
Not as bad as I feared - I'm only missing 06:52 to 07:23.
Useless but it doesn't look like KS1:
Anyway, I haven't seen KS1 that I know of!
